Looking for advice to avoid buying the wrong cable. My 67 Beaumont has a 454 with 4 sp muncie. The cable is too short as the muncie has the opposite side exit. It comes up a couple of inches short. Any suggestions? tks
An aftermarket cable and housing is readily available. If you don't have any success finding one, let me know and I should be able to find a part number for you.

That part number isn't showing up in the GM parts system. It must be obsolete as there is no changeup part number for it. I can try checking tonight for any other numbers it may have been over the years.

I cant find it either, except for a 40's chev (1588291-a). Having the length helps, I cant imagine it would be too difficult, I just dont want to order something that I cant use. Thanks again!
An extension costs about the same as a new cable, but should be the easiest?! My current cable is installed at the speedo, and strapped near the trans.
I think a 70" would do just fine here too.

Ok, I checked the old parts books. I show Chevelle and Beaumont using the above mentioned number (1588291) but I guess from GM it is toast. I recently got a new cable for my Acadian and it was 83".
It was a bit too long but easy to reroute and make it fit. It was an ATP Y-803.
