Re: Speedo cable help needed

I am surprised yours was configured to come out the OD end. Didn't realize it would fit because of the gear that slides inside the bottom adapter. That shoulder on the cable bottoms in the top cup on this one & prevents cable from dropping down. It appears to extend about 1/2" into OD end as well so I guess maybe no difference but if the stop is on top, then cable can be removed from inside the car to lube and service rather than having to crawl under.

EDIT If any help, this cable is from a 47 Custom 8 with R9. You can check parts list to see if same as yours. If so, the cable itself is 80" with the stop at 1" from the end. The housing from tip of adapter end (no gear) to tip of top cup is 81 1/8 + another 1/2" of cable extending for 81 5/8..
