speedo cable problems
 

I guess not all speedo cables are the same cause the one I bought from LMC don't work.
It fits perfectly in the speedo, but the other end of the cable will not go into the tranny. Its an SM-465 tranny. I know they started using it in '67, so maybe there's something different about the SM-465?

I had the same problem. It turned out that the old cable 's tip broke off in the speedo drive gear, I pulled it out and , now it works like a charm.

how did you pull it out?

on my 3 spd there is a retainer held on by I think a 3/8 bolt un do that and wiggle it loose.

I don't see any retainer or bolt near the speedo drive gear.
This can't be good.

Pretty sure both ends should be thread style, take the old one to NAPA and have them match it up with a new one, the have a listing with pics and end styles/sizes. Just replaced mine last month.
