Default Autometer Speedo - Need Cable

I have swapped out my stock guages for Autometers and now I need a new speedo cable with the threaded end to connect to the speedo.

I have a 71 w/TH400. Some have said a 68 cable will fit but all I can find are for a manual. Are they they same cable for an auto?

Thanks for the help...

Steve

Manual/auto does not matter, only difference is with or without cruise. Go look at cables at the supply store. Only the length & thread matter, does not matter if it's for a Corvette or not. Probably a full size car or pickup would do the trick.

The one at an auto parts store for a 1968 corvette is what you need.

Here are my center guages. I still have the Speedo/Tach and dash out of the car but I'll have them in this week after I install the speedo cable and I'll take some pics of all of it in he car.

Default Looks great!!

Your gauge panel looks great! I would like to do that to my Pace Car. How much did you have to cut (if any) to get the gauges in there?
Thanks
Eric
