    I’ve tried reaching out to him before a few months ago regarding other items and he’s never responded back…

    Sorry Andrew, nothing against you. I wasn't very active on the board in the past two years due to some personal stuff. Kinda ignored the board in that time.

    But....im back. In regards to the cable, a 4 speed car without the speedo reducer, takes a 70" cable. The corvette places sell a repro 70" cable. That's the one I used.

    Thank you very much for the info sir I truly appreciate it!

    What length would an automatic cable be?

    Offhand I dont know, but its much shorter because it goes in on the drivers side

    I have all of this info from doing a bunch of 4-speed conversions. I have the NAPA cable number for the correct cable that goes on the passenger side. You can also get one from Inline Tube.

    This is the one that I use in my Buicks and Oldsmobiles. They both have the passenger side speedo port.

    Can you use a 68" and still use both clips under the bellhousing? I bought a 66" from fusick and it was too short

    I have also used the one from Inline Tube. Pretty sure it is also 68”.
    The 90 adapter makes it easier,but most of my cars do NOT have the adapter. My 3:91 Oldsmobiles and 3:64 Buicks have the adapter.
