Topic: 1967 FE four speed speedometer cable routing help.

The passenger floorboard hole is also used on 67s with manual transmission.
The butterfly is used on 67s there as well.
I would also appreciate a location of this hole as it looks to be in the same place as 67s.

My 67 SJ car used the clip on the right, which is not attached to the accel linkage. I have a pic in another thread. I'll look it up when I get to something other than a phone.

Bill: My vehicle was 2 Dec 66. What was your production date?

Keith: Ford actual is March 2, 1967.

PO did a floor repair in the pax foot well.

As for the firewall clip, this post applies:

That is the later clip, which is being reproduced. Thank you for linking me.

NPD offers it.   Here is the link.

Here we go again. The clamp is shown on the assembly drawing as 372186-S. NPD shows 372185-S, or rather Daniel Carpenter does.

Jim:  What Carpender shows isn't what I had. According to Bob Gains it's not correct until '68. Bill says he has that clip illustrated. I presume it's what came off the vehicle when he disassembled it?  I worked at clarification with this years ago.  No one makes the early clip. I picked up three NOS clips that look more akin to  J clip.

The picture I posted is 35 years old. The speedo cable is Ford branded and still has its tags and metal ferrules. It appears original (wear) but who knows.
The number of parts original to this car is quite high and its been a running car prior to me tearing it down.
However, no one knows what happened to the car and its parts prior to my ownership.

Bill:
One of the issues is that NOS units has a gray housing. The paint wont stick. They do have the steel ferrule/barrel that limited the movement of the cable attached to the right side of the floorboard, the reproductions lack them. Even the Daniel Carpenter unit it is missing on. Otherwise, it's pretty close to the Ford cable.
The issue is: with the  Ferrule/Barrel missing the cable moves and in my case wound up on the exhaust. The factory NOS cable I bought from Mansfield Mustang bird-caged in the tube.
I will certainly have to use something on the cable at the right side that stops movement so It doesn't get melted again.
By the way. Be SURE to lubricate the reproductions. The label makes no mention that this is necessary and I can't seem to find anything at the local parts houses. Even NAPA.

NOS ones with the gray housings are service replacements, not like the original factory black housings. The current crop of repro cables have black housings like the originals. NOS ones from the 1960's are black too.

Not aware of the repop color history.
However, mine has the original silver placement tags, Ford number and the ferrules in all the right places. And it's black.
