Tach Cable

[Bob W.]

Do both the speedometer cable and tach cable go through the same hole in the dash support behind the cluster. If so is there a trick to getting them both through? I have had one connected, both unconnected and can't get both through.

Re: Tach Cable

Bob, You did not mention what HP your car is but neither (high or low HP) tach cable go through the same hole as the speedometer. The high HP Fuel Injection tach is driven from the distributor and the low HP engines tach are driven by the generator. Both are routed through different holes and neither are the speedometer cable hole. Good luck, Don H.

Re: Tach Cable

There should be 2 holes in the dash. This is a '59. AIM calls out 2 rubber grommets also...... IIRC.

Re: Tach Cable

You would think there would be two but only one

Re: Tach Cable

Bob, Very strange only one hole. Was the nose replaced on the car?

Either way, I'd just open up the single hole with a keyhole saw to allow the 2 cables to fit through.
