    Can someone tell me the correct length for a mechanical speedometer cable for my 32 ford 5-w?
    Autometer mechanical speedo and turbo 350. Thank you Phil

  2. that depends on how you route it and what is in the way , you will need to do some measuring

    pioneer CA-3002 for 63" and CA-3004 for 83"

    I suggest that you go measure with one of those measuring tapes that a tailor or seamstress would use.

    If you have an old cable housing laying around you could use it to get the cable route right and figure out the length or that old 1/2 inch hose that leaks that you have been going to throw away might give up a section to the cause to help figure it out.
    Unless they are cookie cutter cars like Magoo used to build every one is going to be slightly different for some reason or another.
