Just cant find a speedometer cable!!!
« on: August 08, 2005, 10:40:00 pm »
I have a 79 chevy 4x4 long bed, with a 350 and the th-350.  Im in the process of redoing it while in school.  Ever sence i bought the truck the speedometer has never worked.  And its just getting on my nerves.  Ive talk talked to my mechanic and he said it might not be the cable but the device it attached to on the transmission.  I took a look and it was loose, like it got snaged on something.  Ive been to several junkyards and cant find anything.  Anybody have any ideas. Im really confussed.

what transfercase do you have or is it a 2-wheeler? i might have one, you can just have for the cost of shipping.

It is a np203.  But i think the cable is good, i might be the connector off that comes off the transmission.  If you have both that would be great, just in case that cable is messed up.

Yeah, i got up under it today and that speed sensor looks like it might have gotten snagged on something before i bought it.  But yeah if you post me back on how you want me to pay you and the shipping cost then i can ride around without worrying about speeding.
