Got everything working except for the speedometer. I determined that the OD is from a 53 or 54 Ford truck, so I bought a speedometer cable and gear for that. It fits and the gears mesh and has a 5/8"-18 Female nut with square drive on the other end of the cable. Anyone know how I can connect that to the 7/8"-18 Female nut with tang drive on the Model A cable? Looked at catalogs and websites and nothing is exactly what I need. I thought about splicing the 2 cable housings together and making a replacement inner cable from a parts house replacement. Any suggestions?
