I have two speedometer cable questions. They are in reference to my '68 with a factory Saginaw four speed transmission.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1) Did all Saginaw transmissions have the two piece speedometer cable? I have the two piece cable and that's what the AIM pg. 322 (see photo below) shows for the Production Engine which I assume refers to the base 327 which I have. It's called out in View A in the upper left hand corner of the sheet.
What is confusing me is that Heartbeat City has the two piece cable but calls it out for a car with cruise control and/or a heavy duty 3 speed. They also show a one piece cable available for Saginaw transmissions. This doesn't jive with the AIM. I would tend to believe the AIM but I'm needing a new cable and want to be sure I am buying the right one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2) Also in View A on sheet 322, it shows a clip on the floor board holding the speedometer cable but doesn't call out a part number for it. I can't find any such clip in the parts catalogs. I had a hole in that location on my original floor board so there might have been a clip there at one time. I have the same hole in my new repro floor board.....Does anyone know where you can get this clip?
Thanks Dave

My untouched clip on my TH400 car looks like a Fuel line clip black and grimey

Thank you for that info. From the illustration, I thought it looked line a two sided fuel line clip. I think I have some of those lying around.
Thanks again.....Dave

FWIW I "think" the 69 clip is different.

Dave,
Look at 68 AIM 12 C3 #8 3881339.

Bob, thanks for that info. I didn't know there was speedometer cable info in the AIM other than in the transmission section.
169Indy is correct that 69's used a different clip than the '68's. I looked in the 1969 AIM and 69's used part number 3935970. The 1967 AIM calls out the same clip as the 1968.... 3881339

If 67 is the same as 68 then here is a picture from my unrestored 67 w/TH400 cable and clip.
