Carl,
   The TD speedo cable connects on right side of gearbox, just slightly
below the plywood floorboard. There is a cut-out area of the plywood to
give clearance at the connection.   The cable itself is an ordinary
looking cable.
   Road speed at 3500 RPM
with 5.125 gears and 5.50 x 15 Dunlops  54.26
with 5.125 gears and 165x15 radials     50.40
with 5.125 gears and 5.60x15 Firestones 53.11                            
          
Bob
