c4 speedometer cable routing

Post by fordman »

does anyone have apicture of the speedometer cable routing up from the bottom of the cab and into the firewall? mine just flops around and is kind of in the way. i want to get it in there better. my 67 has had a transplant of a 351w and a c4 so its hard to know where it is suppose to go at.

just went out to the gravel patch to check and see if it was worth talking the old lady into letting me use her camera so i could snap a pic of the way mines routed
....well,all i can say is that i should have put the screw in the offset band that holds the cable to the cab on mine in a little tighter because it ended up backing out ,letting the cable hit the exhaust ,melting the casing and breaking the cable core :doh:
...probably happened all on the last trip down the driveway from the garage to my parking spot
:clap: ....nice..
