No..the cable I found. The OE cables on my '83 CSP are both grey, BTW. With no part numbers on either cable, who's to say what the correct color cable is on the early cars anyway?

As for me, if it works and looks correct, then it's good to go. I would like to be added to the waiting list for these, as I know it is most likely missing from the '85 that I will be bringing home shortly. I am still unclear as to what is actually correct for the '85. Paul caught me before I spent stupid money on the 88-93 one on Ebay, and thanks for that. I will also need the bottom half, too, eventually. I don't care at this point what color it is. When the car is that detailed, maybe by then I will know which one I am looking for. Right now, I am happy with getting it to work when the car is together.

I am still checking the application for the cable. I have a couple of s-rod 4 speeds in inventory and the speedo -cable attaching area on the trans looks identical in size and shape to a t-5. I will probably just go to parts house and buy a replacement cable for an 82 4speed car and see what it looks like. I also checked all my cars that have the vascar cable intact on them (3). I don't have any that have a part number or part number tag on them.
I bought some more vascar parts last week and I think i have everything now to put a working vascar unit back in the 83 FHP car. That is my ultimate goal.

Thanks for checking the application, Mike and Jim. The $100 one was a good buy. I expected it to go for much, much more, as I had seen in the past.

I agree...and there is always going to be another car out there waiting to provide us with previously unknown or undocumented information. Definitely part of the fun...

We restored a 1989 Mustang almost 5 years ago and found a coffee cup in the inner fenderwell that had a FORD logo on it....that was funny.
I also removed a K-member from a 1994 Cobra and it had written in white paint "How are you today?" on the top where it would be hidden/sandwiched between the Frame Rail and K-member. Some of the production line stuff is funny and then there are other variations you find as well. I once bought a 1984 Mustang SVO that had rear shoulder belts with Ford labels on them....after investigation it turned out that Ford offered a rear shoulder belt kit after there was some uproar or news story about the safety of cars back in the mid 80's. It's the only rear shoulder Mustang kit I've ever seen. |
