Speedo Cable question

Hey I just got a quick question, I have a '75 with an auto and was wondering if it matters if I use the 2 piece or 1 piece speedo cable? Mine was missing it when I bought it. I would rather have the 1pc cause its only half the price. Will it fit?

Thanks

Shouldn't have a problem.

It will work but you will be by passing the cruise control if it's installed. The two piece cables are for vehicles equiped with cruise control.

Not true. My '71 SB/auto has the 2-cable system. I don't know why it does {the two cables just connect to each other}, but I bought the car from the family of the original owner and have records on all work done (at Corvette specialty shops ONLY), so I strongly believe that it is original.
