Title: Speedometer Cable Codes
Post by: cook_dw on September 06, 2022, 03:27:19 PM
I'd like to start a research thread on speedometer cables.  Please add your info below so we can try to determine which cables were used for which applications. 

Speedometer Cable Data

Example:

Build date:  01/69
Plant:  NOR / LOS
Stamp Code: CA / CB / ??
Grommet Stamp:  RP / FB / ??
Engine: L35
Transmission: M20
Final Gear Ratio: 3.55P (P = Posi, NP = Non Posi)

Photos if available.

Awesome. Thank you Jim.  Just a heads up to anyone else I don’t need the actual date it left the plant but just the build date on the trim tag.  Thanks again and keep them coming!

Date matters, auto vs man trans matters, speedo adapter probably matters. But the usage sometimes changes for unknown (to me) reasons.

Here's what I have for 69 (with a caveat for limited data):
CF (May & later) - V8 auto, Z28, BB auto & man   
CT (pre May) - V8 auto, Z28, BB man   
CV  (pre May) - L6 & low-po auto 
CW - L48/M20, BB auto & man
CX - L65 & L14 man
CY - L65 man

CH is a full-size code. And I've not seen a CX code on a Z, so I think that cable was changed.

Where is the cable stamped? Can I see it easily? Pretty sure mine is original.

Post by: KevinW on December 02, 2022, 03:28:37 PM
Great info!

CW - L48/M20, BB auto & man (is what I need for my car)

But it would be good to know the original lengths.  I am confused with the lengths the repros are available in.

Thanks!

Jdv69z, see post 5…might help.

There’s no one spot the cables are stamped.  You will just have to look the cable over completely but I’d start at the trans and work towards the firewall.
