(Preview)

64 Beaumont help needed---speedometer cable length?
(Preview)
I am hoping someone has a speedometer cable out of a 64 Beaumont with a Powerglide and is able to measure the length of it.

There is another thread about 327's that has slightly derailed so rather than take it further off course, I'll post separately.

Has anyone converted a 67 Beaumont from an automatic to a standard and if so, what pedals did you use? Pedals from a 67 GTO/Tempest or 67 Chevelle because apparently they are different?
