Default speedometer cable

Can any of you forum members suggest a place to purchase a speedometer cable by length and not application? The stock cable in my 1966 coupe manual trans is shot and, in reality, is too long for the Turbo 400 that currently sits under the transmission tunnel. A South Jersey location would be great. Thanks.

I was able to have a custom one built for my truck by finding a company in the yellow pages that rebuilt and calibrated speedometers. Its worth a look, they charged me $2 a foot plus the ends. :smash:
