Speedo cables

I know one of you has the answer...

'71 4 speed with bad speedo cable(s). I am going to have them build me a one piece unit to replace the two since I am not sure which one is busted. My problem is the length. How long are the two cables on the car now? The total length of both cables together please.

Sorry I know I could just go out and measure them but the car is currently at my brothers, he has a lift, but they are on vacation until Saturday. I wanted to get the new one piece cable built here and take it up there Saturday morning and install it. If I get the guy the total length of the cable required he will build it for me tomorrow while I wait.

Thanks in advance for your help on this. I really appreciate it.

Doug

all you have to do is look at the vendor sites, they list them at 42" and 24"

Thanks Mel. I was in a rush and only looked the aim. Didn't think of the vendors.

Test your two. No sense going to a one piece cable if the speedo head has failed or the tranny gear is the culprit.
