Re: Speedo Cable color
« on: March 03, 2019, 05:24:11 PM »
I am looking for help on the speedo cable for my 67 RS coupe. The car came with a grey speedo cable which is damaged.  Many years ago I purchased a replacement cable from Ricks Camaros and it is black.  The grey cable has a burn mark but is still serviceable. I am hoping for some good advice on which cable to use. The car has the original Muncie 4 speed.

I have never seen a grey speedo cable. Are you sure it wasn’t faded? Never seen any color other than black.

I'm only aware of black as well including other GM makes during that time period.

The cable is definitely grey. I know the cars history back to the early 1980's. The cable has the correct firewall  grommet. I am asking if any 67 Camaro came with a grey speedo cable. Is it possible GM supplied a replacement cable in gray.
