autometer speedo what cable?
Just bought an autometer phantom 160mph speedo. Won't obviously hook up to my stock speedo cable. What should I be looking for and where could i buy one at? It needs to screw into the 700R4 trans and the speedo back.

I bought one from NAPA. The instructions with the speedo had the thread size listed. I took that plus the length & the guy at the counter figured out the rest.

sounds good....i'll have to look into NAPA then. Autozone, Pep Boys, and Murray's all gave me the typical "i need a model year to look up a part number" answer.

I'll give them a call tomorrow morning then.

I believe LOKAR sell cables, but they may be pricey from them.
