Speedometer cable
I am looking to replace my cable on my 1970 corvette with 454 w/4-sped trans. The inner diameter of the part that attaches to the speedometer is 0.625 inches. The replacement diameter is 0.575 inches. It will not go onto the speedometer. It appears that every place I have looked, carry the same aftermarket cable. Anyone have any ideas. My old cable will slide on with no problems.

I just replaced both my tach and speedo cables. Zero problems with them going on the gauges once I got the drive ends of the inner core lined up.
