Re: 50 years ago I was given this USAF 54 3100

More good news! The 4th (count em 4) speedo cables and the very last one WORKED! Previous ones all caused both the old original and brand new new speedometers to jump all over the place. I ordered and extra long one, lubed it up from both ends and carefully installed it. I think the extra length was the key allowing gentler cable sweeps. Also tossed the metal cable guard that was on the original 700r4 that came with the chassis. Its a cheap $8 ATP Y-803 Speedometer Cable 83" long with ends for orig speedo and 700r4.
