Most speedo cables that attach with a threaded nut are 7/8 - 18. To check
if yours is, see if the threaded diameter is approx 7/8 inch ( use a tape
measure, or even a 7/8 endwrench to guage the threads) the 18 is 18 threads
per inch, if you have about 1/2 inch (length) of threads, there souuld be
about 9 threads in that 1/2 inch......also be sure to check what type of
drive key, some are square and others are not, drive adapters are
available!

Hey Everyone,
I need to know the size of the screw on part of the transmission, ie. the
part
where the speedo cable screws in. I have found a good deal in a VDO set of
guages and I need to know if the speedo sender (electronic) will screw to
the
original trannie in my '47-2 with the shifter on the column? The sender
that
comes with the kit says its an 16 pulse 7/8-18 thread? (what ever that
means.)
Does anyone have VDO guages hooked to an original truck? any help would be
helpfull.
Thanks ever so much!!!!!
I know that you guys will not let me down...
Casey.
