    Speedometer cable suggestions please.

    I am progressing on my build and realized I do not have a cable. I have the Autometer Cobra speedometer and a T5 tranny. Does the standard carb'd Mustang cable work? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I answered on the other forum but for anyone who may come across this in the future a Fox era Mustang cable will work,

    Are you sure the speedo needs an actual cable? Your not using a donor gauge. Autometer makes electronic speedo's that use a VSS.

    Thanks, Everyone.

    Yes, Bill, I am sure. Mine is the non-electric Cobra model.

    Hello
    I am new to the process so don't know where to jump into the conversation. I have a VSS speedometer that seems to be steady to 40mph then the needle starts to bounce and become very inaccurate.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum. Although your question is somewhat related to the topic you posted in, it's different enough that you'll probably get better responses if you post as a new topic. I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm sure someone will.
