Description
This replacement speedometer cable is designed to mirror the original factory configuration for vehicles equipped with factory-installed speed controlmaking it the perfect choice for accurate, high-quality restorations.
In 1983, Ford transitioned from the earlier two-piece cable designwith an inline speed sensorto a more streamlined single-cable setup that positioned the speed sensor directly at the transmission. This updated design improved reliability while maintaining precise speed signal performance.
If youre restoring your Fox Body Mustang and want factory-correct fit, function, and appearance, this is the cable your project demands. Bring your speedometer system back to original working order and restore confidence behind the wheelavailable now from NPD.
Restoration Note:
Fords one-piece speedometer cable design went through numerous revisions over the years, with updates to both design and overall length. As a result, multiple part numbers were issued, including E3ZZ-9A820-A, E3ZZ-9A820-B, E6ZZ-9A820-A, E7ZZ-9A820-C, F2ZZ-9A820-C, E3BZ-9A820-B, FOZZ-9A820-C, E9BZ-9A820-B, FOZZ-9A820-B, and F1ZZ-9A820-A.
This replacement cable is engineered with the correct overall length and configuration to service all of those variationsmaking it the ideal solution for restorers who want proper fitment without the guesswork.
