Can anyone tell me where to plug into the transmission with the speedo drive cable? It's a '69 transmission on a '67 roadster. I've studied diagrams, but they're all blown apart so you can't really seem to find what hole to plug into. Thanks.

If I remember right (can't go out to car, it's at the body shop)....it's further back from the clutch slave on the same side. There is an angle drive that attaches to the cable and screws into the tranny. Some people get a longer cable and successfully eliminate the angle drive, though I haven't done it myself. I did have to get the O.D. cable which is about 6 inches longer to eliminate binding and sharp corners behind the dash which wiped out two previous speedo cables.
 
The speedo drive is on the right (passenger) side of the transmission toward the rear. It is a white pastic fitting. If you have a 67B with a newer transmission you will need a angle drive. The tunnel on the 67B is to narrow to fit a OD cable to a non-OD transmission.
