If all else fails get you a 3/8" rope, rubber fuel line or what ever you got.
Route it, mark it, then pull it out and measure it.

Re: Speedo cable length

You can get almost any length speedometer cable on Amazon. Saves the shipping. Last one I purchased took two days to arrive and cost less than $12.

4wd cables are longer than 2wd drive, because they screw into the transfer case.
Think I got an 83" for my K20, it was in stock at local Autozone, Pioneer brand part # CA-3004 for around $10.
