All I can say for sure is its 114-115inches. long. Going for a test drive soon. Installed fast.?
I have a suspicion that it may be the same cable as used on a 1976 Pacer.? I replaced the speedo cable in my 1976 Citicar at one point, but no longer have the reference number for the ¡®original¡¯ vehicle.? Some parts for C-Cars were originally sourced as stock parts for small cars of the era, such as brake master cylinders.

Well, I couldn't find a cable nos, and I found one through Facebook, used that had a funny end compared to mine that was expensive. so I got to visit a nice place named Bob's speedometer about 45 minutes from here.? It's a shame it's a quarantine state right now, as I bet Jeff the fellow who is making it is a wealth of information,? but conversation is short now. My cable is being built tomorrow for close to $150.? Bit more than I expected,? but didn't? think I'd have to go the custom built route, so it seems fair, and less than that used one was offered for. Maybe have it installed tomorrow.?
I would suggest if you add the speedo option to this motor have d&d leave the shaft out the front but leave only 1/2 inch. Then have them drill a centered hole to fit that arctic cat speedo adapter.? That's easier than what I did but someone had to try. Lol. Luckily I have the tools and resources to do a bit of stuff myself. There are still 3 speedo shops in a relatively close distance to me still in operation. I'll make some calls soon if I can't find a used one.?
Speedometer was more complicated, but it should work if I can locate a cable. It's about 114"? I bet it fits something else and can be bought off a shelf somewhere but I'm striking out so far. Might have to go custom built cable. For the moment I'm using my phone GPS speedo and its ok till I find a cable.?
That's great Dave,
? ? ? How did the speedometer work?
What HP is the motor rated at. I'm close to buying one too.
