Thanks, Pete.

I searched all over pics and ran across the ones you linked. My transmission crossmember does not have a hole in it and has the bracket provisioned for the e-brake equalizer bar. Does the cable just route down and around it?

Here is the bracket I have.

 

Does this help?

 

Absolutely! Trying to decipher what the manual is trying to say can be challenging, especially with the picture they provided. It shows it looping through the crossmember in the manual, so thats where I was getting confused.

Thanks, Pete!

Ok resurrecting this old thread. Replacing the cable on a 65 Fastback with 289 & Toploader 4-speed. I’ve got the cable in, attached the clip shown in the picture at te crossmenber. The assembly manual shows a second clip on the tunnel, part number 380072-S100. I can’t f8nd a picture or info on this clip. What does it look like and where does it go on the tunnel?

 

I did the swap on my 66 years back. I'm trying to remember exactly where it clips. I currently have my car up on jack stands but I won't be home until next weekend. I think one of the spots as near the cross member. The cable doesn't go through the firewall the same spot as your old cable. It goes though just above the gas pedal and to the right about a inch or so off the firewall and on the trans tunnel. There is a dimple where to drill the hole.

 

Here is a picture of the two speedometer clips on my 66.

 

Perfect! That’s the one I was looking for.

 

I spent half the day trying to find the correct routing of my 4 speed speedo cable so I thought I'd update this thread for others as well. Here's where the cable passes through the firewall, see the red arrow.

 

I thought I had posted the location inside. I drilli my hole in the wrong spot. I wasn't aware of the dimple on the tunnel. I made a educated guess from a floor plan photo.

This is the location for the reverse light harness hole for stick

 

Thanks Tom I knew about the backup light wiring but speedo, I wasn’t sure. I should have marked the dimple before I threw the old firewall away. I’m confident now where to drill. Thank you.
