My mechanic friend was replacing my tranny crossmember, mount, and also a parking brake bracket which he put my speedo cable in the way of the linkage. Later after using my parking brake the speedo cable kinked and stopped working. What should I use for a replacement? Will a cable made for a '65 4-speed work?
