82 Speedo Cable Question
I have an '82 with Cruise Control (non-functional) and a bad speedo cable.
I have NO INTEREST in repairing or using my cruise control. I do all of my driving in city traffic and the car is a keeper, so "collector" or resale value is of no concern to me. If I don't need something on the car (smog equipment, hood air-flapper, etc) I remove it.
Rather than replace BOTH cables (upper & lower), can I just use the single speedo cable for '77-82s W/O cruise control?

You should be able to use the single cable from a non cruise control '82. The 700R4 needs a slightly longer cable than the '80 or '81 automatics. I believe you can get the cable from GM restoration parts.
