I went to reinstall the speedo cable that the previous owner just left hanging in the engine compartment. Well to my surprise there is an expandable rubber plug where the cable goes.
I can see a bolt hole next to the speedo cable hole so I am guessing that a hold down device is used. I am thinking a lot like a dist hold down clamp.
So what are the facts and does anyone have one they would part with.
BTW: the reverse light cable I got works perfectly.
Thanks

ps: 75 4 spd.
I am pretty sure I have one somewhere. I will check my parts car next time I am at my mom's house. It will be sometime this week....
That would be cool tigger thanks
jim
Hey Tigger,
Even though I still need that part there is no rush at this point as I had another trip to the hospital and all is on hold til I heal some.
So what works best for you works for me.

Jim, I found the part yesterday when I went over to rake some leaves. I will set it aside for you so let me know when you are ready. I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks guys, this going to the hospital is really getting old. Well i do have something new, I am now bionic with an implanted defibb/pacemaker to control the speed of my heart until I can get a new one. I feel pretty good all things considered so i am waiting for the restrictions to lift as I am waiting right now for my rebuilt starter.
Tigger I will pm you.

Ok back to the speedo questions. Does any body know what size the bolt is that goes into the side of the trans caes to hold down the retaining holder for the speedo cable???
Igot the retainer coming and I need to know the size of the bolt since I have none and will have to go buy one.
Thanks

Tigger,
I got the parts. thanks. As soon as it warms up a bit I will install it.
People do business with tigger, it is a smart move.
jim
Thanks Jim, glad I could help.
Take care
One last note and we can close this thread. After i cleaned the retainer and bolt and yes he sent it to me dirty, can you believe that???? :lol:
I install the cable and retainer, crawled back in the drivers seat, stuck it in gear and the speedo worked. How well who knows but at least it worked.
Thanks for the help. One more problem down and probably time to start another thread.
