Default Any idea?

Hi all,
The speedometer of my CMP was not working. Now I know why.......
The engine and gearbox are not original.
Does anyone has an idea how I can connect these two on a way that it will work for more than once?

Default Two places to connect.....

If your vehicle is a 2 wheel drive it will be connected to the transmission on the left hand side...passenger side..... rear of tranny just before the U joint.

If it is a 4x4 such as a C15a..... the cable runs down the drivers side of the engine and it connects to the transfer case about the middle of the front face.

If your truck is a Ford.... I give up..... in fact don't think Ford had speedometer.... they never went that fast anyways......

Bob

you may need to get a cable that fits the motor that is installed and take both it and the original cable to a place that can make a cable with both correct ends on the one cable.
