So one of the few things not piled up around here on a shelf or hanging from some peg is a Speedometer cable assembly. Before I go ordering one. Anything I should know? is one being offered somewhere better or worse then the next one?

I wish I could recall where I got it, but the first replacement I purchased had a regular nut on the end rather than the knurled original. I had a hell of a time getting a wrench in around the trans housing to tighten it up. When I redid the flange seal, I got rid of that thing and got one with the proper end.

Mark, 
Can’t say if it’s better or worse, but in this thread I give a autozone part number that works and is easy to find.
