1983 Firebird 5.0 auto speedometer cable
I have an 83 firebird 5.0
SE automatic and the speedometer cable is broken. It’s torn at the transmission. The car has cruise(and it doesn’t work and I was going to delete it) but am wondering what size cable I need. Rock auto lists multiple options. Thanks

Re: 1983 Firebird 5.0 auto speedometer cable
IIRC the early cables ran from the tranny to the CC set-up,... then another - shorter - cable from the Cruise Control into the cabin for the cluster. Later cars (84-89 ?) used a different / longer cable that runs from the tranny directly to the cluster. I'd use the longer 85-89 style cable if you are not using the Cruise Control.
