Dwayne, the two part cable is only used on the later cars that had some kind
of gizmo just ahead of the bulkhead that was used as a reminder for something
that you had to do after so many miles. One part of the cable goes into it
and other part goes from it to the speedo. If you don't have one of those
gizmos you don't need the two part cable. If you have a 74 or a 74.5 you
should not have one.
Repro speedo cables are notorious for not fitting correctly without some
fettling.

Subject: [6pack] Speedo Cable
I've had trouble with my speedometer for a while now. It seems like the end
that goes into the transmission isn't long enough to seat properly so it
doesn't turn reliably. I tried modifying a cable which worked, but it caused
a new oil leak (I've got enough of those already thank you). In looking
through the Moss catalog it appears like I may need the two-part cable that's
listed as correct for 74.5 - 76 models. My car is a 74 -- maybe a 74.5 -- it
had the rubber baby buggy bumpers so I think that makes it a 74.5. Has
anyone
had any experience with mixing up these two cables? It seems like they may
be
interchangeable in terms of fittings but not operation.
Thanks,
Dwayne
'74.5 (I think)
