Default Tach question

The end of the cable that goes into the distrubter has broken. Is it possible to replace just the end of the cable, or do I need to replace the entire cable. If I can replace just the end. Where can I get the parts to do that? Would they sell something like that at an auto parts store like advance auto parts?

I got my speedo cable kit from Advance. It's just a lenght of cable to go into the existing jacket. You put it in and cut to length, or match the length of your current cable if it's still whole. Then crimp on the square engagement end and you're set. Not too horrible and pretty cheap. I think I found it in the "Help" section.
