Default Speedo Cable Length?

Well after the motor drop and a pretty good drive, my speedometer quit. Today while in the garage I think I found the problem. Seems someone didn`t put the cable back into the clips to hold it away from the exhaust system. Well sure enough the cable found the exhaust system and melted the cable. Next time I drive the car the cable snaps and no more speedo. Now I am looking to replace it. I was just gonna put one in from Autozone but they offer 3 different lengths. Does anyone know the length of the this cable?

I know I could take this one out and take it with me but I may not get around to it anytime soon so if I have it on hand the next time the car gets jacked up it will be there ready.

Thanks for any help.
