Wanted Chev 90deg speedo cable adapter

[32coupe]

I need a 90deg speedo cable adapter to suit a Turbo 400, must have the same thread both ends.
I am led to believe that any Chev one will do,  they all have the same thread for the speedo cable.

Cheers

there are 90 degreee adapters that are 1 - 1  and 90 degree adapters that change the ratio from 1 -1 to correct speed-O reading.

Which do you need ?

there is at least one more junk yard option..

on some front wheel drive NON transverse eldorados and sevilles with the 325 and 325-4L transmissions.. there is a 4 inch ELL where there is a short wide bend to adapt the speedo cable to the transmission...

i use the last few i had on a friends car with headers  as i was able to use two.. one to move the cable upwards then the other to aim the cable forward along the floor pan.. worked great.. but i don't have any more..

79 to 85 eldorados... 80 to 85 seville flat backs..  NON transverse front wheel drive..

probably NOT something down under.. if you put 4 of them together it would make a 10 inch round cornered square..

I am going to use it to connect a B&M lockup converter control box, and my exhaust is too close to the speedo outlet on the box, I need to turn it at 90deg to be able to fit the B&M drive controller, I have an electronic speedo so drive ratio is not important I can reprogram the speedo.

I wonder if the same part is on the Rivieras and Toros 79-85?

i have used one of these basin wrenches to remove the others from junk yard cars.. as the nut is hard to get to.

The junk yards in my part of the country are a little light on possible donors, so instead of numerous trips to the yards to find one or going to E-Bay for a used one of questionable quality, I opp'd for a new one.

The unit I used is listed as a "Corvette Tachometer Or Speedometer Cable Adapter, 90°, 1960-1974", got it from "http://www.ecklerscorvette.com".  Not a endorsement for them, but they delivered promptly, unit looks like a quality product.  They were the most economical source that I found when shipping was factored in.  To be honest though, I ordered it when we were in Arizona for a visit with delivery there.  Have since found Canadian Corvette suppliers that carry them for similar prices.

Maybe there are Vette specialist that you could source from.

Just another idea.
