Looking for a good original speedometer cable for my 1956 Imperial with factory TorqueFlite trans. The original rotted in half, unfortunately. Doesn't have to look perfect, just needs to be functional. I would think a 1957 or 1958 cable would work as well.

Looking for a good original speedometer cable for my 1956 Imperial with factory TorqueFlite trans.
Just for information, when I converted my 56 Dodge to A-466 cast iron Torqueflite (from a 57 Chrysler), I didn't change the speedo cable. We just reused the Powerflite speedo cable (it was long enough). That implies that a 56 Chrysler Powerflite speedo cable would also work. Should be about 65 inches long (*OR MAYBE at bit longer 68?? for the Imperial)
The price of that speedo cable from Mopar Mall looks low enough to take a chance on it (in my opinion).
