mvusse Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 A 4wd speedo cable would work also, it is just a little longer. To fit an 88 correctly I believe it would have to come from 88-90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Every 86-'90 speedo cable I've seen the plastic clip was broke. Old and brittle plastic. I locate the cable into the speedo head as usual, and then being careful it doesn't come back out i replace the instrument panel back in the dash. Then working under the hood I push the cable firmly towards the speedo, making sure it's still seated. I then secure the cable so it won't come back out. Usually it will stay by it's self but sometimes the grommet in the firewall is loose enough it lost it's gripping power. A wedge along side the cable pushed into the hole or a clamp around the cable housing attached to the firewall will hold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto this plus I used a standard hose clamp (around the POS plastic connector) at the back of the speedo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyav8r Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Jackson & Sons Jeep - Talladega, AL NOS parts, reasonably priced. Google him and call. Don't know if he has an e-mail address listed. I usually just go by there when I'm making sales calls in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
