I didn't think to measure mine when I replaced it, but it is unique to 68's.
You can also buy a replacement inner cable to go in your jacket. That you cut to fit and crimp the tip on the cable. That's how I fixed my wore out tach cable and kept the original 68 tach cable jacket.
If I remember correctly the inner cables tips were just short of the cables fittings that screw into the tach and the 4 speed.
Hope this helps. :chevy

68rdstr, thanks for the info. Great looking car!

George, is the cable you have just the cable or cable and jacket. Is it the original two piece? Is it new or used? How much do you want for it?
