Speedo Cable Replacement
I need help finding a replacement speedo cable. Have a 1965 F-100 with a 1970 390 with C-6 trans. Speedo cable bolts into the rear of the trans. When I pulled it out the platic teeth were green. Any help is welcome and thanks very much.

The books call for a cable around 75.42 inches long. The Ford part number is C7TZ 17260-AB . NAPA should be able to get you a cable by crossing the number I've listed. If not I found 9 NOS sellers that list having it. Send me a private message and I'll send the list to you.

Sounds like a universal fit for those years because of the length. With the extra 20 inches, watch out for hitting the exhaust. Makes them toast real fast!

You can get the gears, count the teeth. It's also marked on the end with the count. You don't have to replace it unless it's missing teeth or they're worn down. The usually get dished in and the teeth are flat. Make sure you match it up if you replace it, because there are gears with the same number of teeth , but the pitch goes the other way. They also have 3 different lengths. The clip is a tough one to get. Most dealers don't stock them unless they ordered a bag of 10 to get one and are now stuck with the rest. Part number for the clip is C1DD 17292-A.

The one I listed is correct for that year truck. It basically covers that application from 65-72. I'll bet you've got a C6 out of a car in that truck. I'll have to search the car books as I just got a copy on CD rom. I'll post again later.
