Default Speedo cable lengths???

Does anyone know the proper length for speedometer cables for a 75 coupe with an automatic transmission? The local stores are all saying they have different lengths, but I am not sure which to buy because I do not have one on my car to compare it to.

One length is for cars with cruise control, can't remember if the longer or shorter length applies to cruise control or not.

Stock, it came as an upper and lower - each about 2 feet long
A cruise control unit could be installed between.
A replacement cable is sold - a single unit to replace both sections
for non-cruise vehicles. This is about 4 feet long.
