Default speedo cable?

Is there 15 different lengths for a 72 350/auto speedo cable? I was trying to buy one local and I wasn't confused untill I asked for one at the parts house. My best guess is around 70". I haven't removed the old one yet, it did sorta work untill the masking tape Bubba had on it came off,thxs Terry

On my 73 I also have the two piece set up. When trying to order a new one all I could find was a 71" replacement. I just need the second half connecting to the tranny which was about 15" long. I did find a 24" replacement through advaceauto parts website. A little long but I just used brackets for the execive distance.
