Speedometer Cable for 71 442

Hello all,

I need to replace the speedometer cable and grommet for the firewall for both my cars. One MT the other AT. Where should I buy this? I can't seem to find an AC Delco part. Looking to be as correct for the cars as possible. Can anyone advise me on where to buy these?

I've used the ATP brand parts from Rock Auto. Always worked well for me. Just make sure to lube them with graphite before installing.
Probably not correct for a 1000 point restoration but they work and I think their application references are even correct!
It's been years since I've messed with the grommet (and I switched to an electric speedo on my current car) so I can't remember where I've gotten those. A quick google search looks like all the normal parts places - and even Summit - have viable options.
