WTB: Speedo cable #6454859

Want to buy a speedo cable to a 1966 Olds Dynamic 88. Original number is 6454859 or CC275.

I believe that that is a front wheel driven speedo cable, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes thats correct. It dont need to be that particular number as long as the cable works for the car.

The 69-70 cables have a speedo end designed for the snap-in fitting and won't work on the 65-68 cars with the screw-on fitting.

Yes, the square flex cable is the same for 1965-1970 (of course, cars with cruise use different cables from cars without cruise). The outer sheath is different 65-68 and 69-70. Generic flex cable is readily available. Just cut it to length. The outer sheath is unobtanium.
