Default Need a speedometer cable

I am considering removing my 4.11 gears and putting in something more street friendly like 3.36's or 3.55's. After much discussion on the NCRS Discussion Board, I found out that I will need to remove the 90 degree adapter and change out the colored plastic gear. As a result, the speedo cable I have on my car will be too short. Any one have a nice used cable available that isn't NOS, gold plated, or ridiculously priced? ;)

why can't you still use your 90 degree adapter, this doesn't make sense. Also how many teeth gear do you need? :cheers:

Well, according to one of the experts, the adapter had a .88 adapter built in. I suppose I could use another gear to compensate, but wouldn't be much easier to go to GM chart that says with a 3.36 differential and a close ratio use a blue/greeen/tan/mauve/pink ;) gear?

The guy who is rebuilding my differential has the various transmission plastic gears.
