Topic: 1967 FE four speed speedometer cable routing help.

[RoyceP]

I do not believe anyone has mentioned the speedometer cable support clip on the floor pan support which is done on the passenger side of four speed manual cars. The same clip is used as the one used on the opposite side if the car had an automatic or three speed manual.

Are there any other clips or attachments for the speedometer cable between the clip we have been looking at and the transmission?

[Chris Thauberger]

I realize that the discussion is for early '67, but I wanted to post this picture as I think they are the same as used on my early '68.

This is just to get a clear view of the clips, not suggesting application.

Thx

I assume you are referring to 379816-S32 as shown (poorly) on the 67 Mustang Chassis Assembly Manual (AM0020) page 25, yiew Y, shown pictorially in "Ford Standard And Utility Parts Catalog, January 1969", page 43, and documented in the library on Mustang Hardware Spreadsheet 67-68. It's also used on 69 thru 73 Mustangs
That one doesn't seem to be a problem - but it appears to be missing from the 68 Chassis Manual (ref AM0025 page 54, view Y). The drawing showing the installation is there, the part number is missing. It will be added to the next release of the Hardware Spreadsheets. I recommend that those with a 68 Mustang and having, and using, a copy of the 68 Chassis Manual add part number 379818-S32 to view Y on page 54.

The clip on the left is the right side retainer on the floorboard, the one in the center would be for late 68-up at the accelerator pedal and the far right would be for the LH apron.  Of course, the pinch clips are missing from the extreme left and right clips.  The J clip is listed in 67 assembly manual and correct on my Early Shelby is: 371992 S32.     ]                                             I had the factory cable twist up in the housing so I had to replace cable assembly. They lack the metal ferrule that is crimped on the factory cable that keeps the cable from moving on the RH side. The cable shifted enough to melt on the exhaust so It's going to necessitate replacing with the barrel clip to keep it from moving.

Does anyone have a picture of the LH clip installed? I am not sure of location and do not want to drill a hole incorrectly.

[Chris Thauberger]

Not my car, but mine is in same place.

Is that clip the one on the LH or RH above?  Also I thought the clip went around the metal sleeve on the cable?

Thank you for the picture.

On my '67 it does indeed line up and the metal ferrule with the OE cable.

Is it near the location shown in the photo above?

Is it near the location shown in the photo above?

Just to clarify, I don't know the origin of the above photo, BUT there was a hole in the toe board on my '68 in that location.

[ruppstang]

It looks like it may have had a screw in it?  Or did it have the pinch type fastener?

[Chris Thauberger]

I don’t remember as I removed the speedometer cable 30 years ago.

Good things take time!

Thanks for every ones help.

They use the pinch clip aka butterfly. What's shown in the picture is not what my vehicle had. It was the clip to the far left in Chris' clip extravaganza.

OK thanks Keith.
