Raven R code 281 Report post Posted August 9, 2019 wondering if anyone pictures of a speedo cable in place without an installed motor or info on routing and placement of clips? Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike65 512 Report post Posted August 9, 2019 Dave, looking in my Osborn manual it shows with a 3 spd std trans or the FMX up to a 351 engine the speedo cable is routed from the l/s of the trans at an angle under the drivers side floor pan up to the hole in the floor pan to the left of the steering column through the floor up to the gauge cluster. On the outside of the l/.s toe board there is a clip that holds the speedo cable to the frame rail. If you have a 4 spd & any V-8 Mustang the speedo is shown coming out on the passengers side of the trans & running under the passengers side floor by or in the trans tunnel through a retainer clip up the toe board to the lower part of the firewall & across trans through another retainer clip to the hole in the floor up to the gauge cluster.

Brian Conway 279 Report post Posted April 20, 2023 Straight into the hole. No twisting or wrapping around the trans crossmember. Easy/gradual turns with the cable. If needed change you mounting/clamping points to take up the slack. Plenty of room for that all the way back to behind the dash. Jumping needle? If you have the cable properly connected to your speedometer you should be able to turn the steel portion of the cable (at the trans end) and watch the needle jump. If not properly connected (very little or sporadic movement) give the steel cable a turning push. That should properly seat the cable in the speedometer housing.

fastback351 12 Report post Posted April 20, 2023 Thank you Brian I needed to verity that. I have headers and just ordered a 90 inch cable which might give me that but stuck at the mount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
