    Speedo Cable

    Finally got my rear end fixed, correct brake pedal and booster all installed. Got to drive the 67 more than a 1/2 mile this time. Went on about a 10 mile cruise to see if I could find anything else wrong. So far so good, except.  I have a 67 cooupe, 302, 1989 T5 transmission in it. The  t5 grinds a little every time goin into 4th. Not bad, but does it if I drive easy or get on it, does the same .
    Also, what speedometer cable should I buy? The rear end has 4.33 gears so I believe I will also need a different gear in the tranny. Does it have to be taken apart to put that in?
     

    67 Coupe, 5.0 EEC IV Fuel injected. T5, 3:70 rear

    Re: Speedo Cable

    Your original speedo cable will work, you will have to figure out what gear you'll need to match your gear ratio and tire size. As for the grinding you may just need to adjust your cluch cable ah little tigher..

    It's hard to type "funny"
