I've been talking with a member on this forum who needs a speedometer cable for his '66 88. I know I've seen others looking for these in the past without much success. This would be the long one-piece, LF wheel-driven cable for the 65-70 B and C-body cars without cruise control.

I happen to have a NOS GM cable which I've been saving for my cars. I'm going to be contacting a few custom cable manufacturers to see about getting copies made using my NOS piece as a pattern. I'm wondering if there is anyone else out there who would be interested. They may be less expensive if I get several made at once. Let me know if you have an interest and I'll get to work on this.

Definately interested!!!! Everything I find says its for Cruise only.

 

I got only one serious reply from all the companies I contacted.
That manufacturer says he can make them for $75 plus shipping. Send me a PM if you want the contact info.

Does this speedometer cable go through the left front wheel? I don't need the cable for my 1966 Jetstar 88, but I do need the wheel hub that the cable attaches to.

 

I would like to have the contact info. I need a cable for my 68 Delmont. Just took her out for a spring drive and it broke. I wil lprobably even buy ywo cables just so I can have a spare. Thanks Vince

 

Lookee (I make no claims to know for a fact that the listing is correct):

The picture of that eBay cable is correct, as far as a 'through the hub' cable goes. The only issue I can think of might be length...

 

id be interested mines fine but when it goes probably wont find one then

 

Hi i have 66 olds delta 88 how can buy thgis cable from you

 

It is not my auction, but the seller of the previous Ebay piece is currently selling another (presumably he has a few):

I'm also interested to.
Did'nt know they did'nt make them anymore.

 

Just wanted to mention...my last response to this thread followed my getting an auto-reply that others had recently responded. After the latest such auto-reply, I actually read back to the first post in the thread...I have linked to that Ebay auction (again, not mine) to help those in immediate need for a cable, but it was never my intention to step on Glenn's efforts to have the cables reproduced.

 

I know this is 10 years old , but does anyone still have a definitive replacement speedometer cable (no cruise) for a 1968 Delmont 88 Convertible (have 15" inch with disc brakes - not sure if that matters).

 

I have an original cable and housing for 67 to 70 Olds *8-98 Driver side speedometer any interst contac me at e-mail d.rocwal@gmail.com

69-70 are different from 68-older. The 69-70 cables snap into the speedo head. The earlier ones use a threaded retainer.

 

Thank you Joe. Correct, my 68 is definitely a screw thread design. Finally snapped a couple of months ago.

 

The one that was sent to me does not have a threaded retainer to the speedometer. Looks like a snap on.

Just out of curiosity, not that I would do this, but could the cable come out of the snap-on casing and then be re-inserted into a screw-threaded casing? My speedometer casing looks fine - I would think I could just buy a generic cable and re-insert?

 

Yes, if all you need is the inner cable, a generic one works fine. It's the outer sheath that is impossible to get.
