Default 700r4 swap Speedometer Cable

Hi, for those who have a 700r4 transmission installed, what are you using for a speedometer cable? I have a 74 project that came with a 700r4 and didn"t have a speedometer cable. I updated the speedometer with a threaded 5" Autometer threads are 5/8"-18. I looked at Oreilly's and they have a threaded cable for a 68 vette , but not sure if the trans end is universal.
Thanks

When I swapped the 700R4 into my '79 I used the stock cable and it fit perfectly.

I just put a 700r4 in my '74 and used the stock cable from the th-400. On the transmission i changed the speedo gear housing, drive gear, and driven gear to match my rear and wheel size, but the stock cable hooked right up
