1968 Speedometer Cable Question
We spent some time today looking for the thru hole for the speedometer cable with no luck. Looking in the AIM it should go through the firewall at about the same elevation as the 4 hole grommet that the tach cable goes thru but close to the left corner, however, we could find nothing. We looked from inside the car, outside the car, even under the car and just cant find where that cable is supposed to feed thru. Is there a chance the AIM is wrong or there was a design change and maybe the speedo cable goes thru the same grommet that the tach goes thru? Getting close to being able to install the large instrument dash section and this has stumped us.

William, I just checked my 68 SB coupe and there is a dedicated raised square area, with a hole in it for the speedometer cable and it's grommet, just below where the three small vacuum hoses enter the interior, through their grommet. There is also a "U" shaped hanger to hold the speedometer cable just to the left of it. This hanger is just above the trans tunnel. I hope that this helps you. It should show this in the 68 AIM. Lou.
