takayuki Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 hi, I decided to replace the broken speedo cable in my '71 240 z. Purchased a new cable from blackdragon, but i have 1 problem. The connector for my speedometer-end is different. The old one has a metal threaded end and the new one has a white plastic lock-in type connector. Obviously the plastic connector does not fit. The transmission-end connectors for both cable are the same. Do i have the wrong part? has anyone ever run into this problem? The part number for my cable matches with the one specified in the blackdragon catalogue.I searched the forums but didnt' find any concrete answers. I hope someone can help! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mn_Z_Man Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I had the same problem. I think it would fit, but it won't fit through the firewall without cutting the hole bigger. I cut off the plastic, and am going to use a hose clamp, or wire or something to hold in the speedo. The alternative is $90 for a nissan part.
