I have a '64 Fairlane 500 with a standard 3spd on the column. I put a 3spd overdrive transmission in it and need a different speedometer cable. 3spd's w/o overdrive take a plastic gear on the end that goes in the tranny to drive the driven gear in the tranny. 3spd O.D. speedometer cables have an end that slides into the tranny w/o a plastic gear. The end of the cable slides into the driven gear in the transmission.
Any thoughts on where to get one?

Thanx

Matt
