My first teener. Converting to 6 cyl. Wrapping up loose ends now and I'm baffled by the excess clutch and speedo cable length. I did swap to a 1974 trans but my chassis, speedo and clutch cable are 1972. Does a person (not so simply) zip tie or norma clamp cables somewhere between the heat exchangers to form a large "S"?
As far as the speedo cable goes I have a right-angle union on the trans, but perhaps the original 72 trans did not have one, I no longer recall details of the old drivetrain. Any insight from you folks? Thanks. |

Speedo cable length behind the firewall depends on how you route it inside the cabin. A very helpful place for some "extra" is behind the dash, so you can pull the speedometer out at least 4 or 5 inches to undo the cable. And if you route a standard cable from there, above the pedals, and into the tunnel, I bet you will have little excess towards the transaxle.
