wtb: speedo cable

[rapieper@yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

For the 3.94 (4K, 2H) and 3.98 (F-series) final drive gearboxes, you
want the white speedo gear.  For all others, which are nearly all 3.67
final drive, you want the red gear.  I'll bet a beer that's your
problem.  I'd give you PN's if ETKA was working for me.

The cable itself is generic, it has nothing to do with speedo accuracy.

I do recommend the one-piece cable, and elimination of that goofy
counter box.

HTH, 

Ron
