70's ford speedometer caable to a Model A speedometer

[midgetracer]

I am putting a newer (70's) auto transmission in my Model A Roadster so I can continue to drive it without a usable clutch foot. Is there someone that makes a speedometer cable to adapt this transmission to my stock speedometer. Maybe even an end that can be fitted to the 70's cable? Please, no negative comments about what I am trying to do.

I believe there are shops that can make custom speedo cables.

I've seen Mopar & GM trans' adapted to As but not a FoMoCo - is there a source for the adapters?


Google - custom speedometer cables - many will come up. Here are a couple that looked good. You'll want to know your rear end ratio and what gear is the trans so your speedo will read right. An easy fix is one of the $7 GPS speedos on FleaBay.

Thank you ModelA29. I will pursue that option.

The end sizes and configurations are the important part as far as the inner flex cable is concerned. The outer cable housing length and configuration has to reach and connect to the trans & speedo so what ever outfit makes them up for you will need to know that information. The 30/31 late type is more common than the 28/29 type for oval speedometers but I'm sure they can come up with about any configuration.

There are universal kits available which may adapt to the late type speedometers better but I don't know what all different end types are available.
