Description
When you swap a TREMEC Magnum into a classic Ford, your factory speedometer cable won't cut it. The Magnum's tailshaft positions differently than OE Ford transmissions, and the routing requirements change dramatically. This 90-inch speedometer cable solves the length problem while maintaining the correct Ford clip-style slip-in connection your factory speedometer head requires.
Classic Ford speedometers use a distinctive clip-style connection where the cable simply slips into the speedometer head and locks in place - no threading or tightening required. This cable preserves that OEM connection style while providing the extended length necessary to reach from your dash-mounted speedometer down to the TREMEC Magnum's mechanical speedometer output. TREMEC transmissions use a Ford-based mechanical speedometer drive, which means this cable connects directly without adapters when paired with the correct driven gear for your rear-end ratio and tire size.
The cable features a steel core inside a protective outer housing for durability and smooth operation. Proper cable routing and length are critical for accurate speedometer readings and long cable life - a cable that's too short will bind, while excessive length creates loops that cause erratic needle behavior. This 90-inch length is specifically engineered for TREMEC Magnum swaps in Ford applications where the additional reach is necessary.
For accurate speedometer readings, you'll need to match your speedometer driven gear to your specific rear-end ratio and tire diameter. MDL offers a full selection of speedometer gears and installation components to complete your mechanical speedometer setup.
