Re: [Chrysler300] dead speedo cable still

["Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

So this is reason #562 why owning a Parts Book is a 'good thing'.

Group: 21-84-4 - Transmission Speedometer Cable Includes Shaft and Housing

Housing with Shaft - Length: 63 5/32"
Part No: 1436 529

Interchanges (there may be others, but these come from 55-59 parts books. 
PF=powerflite; TF=Torqueflite)

55-7 Plymouth PF
57 Plymouth TF
57 Chrysler (all)
59 Plymouth PF, TF

A little research; a lot less aggravation. Because of the precise length 
requirement, I would go with the original part, even used,  rather than the 
flowery promises of some guy in CA.
