What trans? The 60/70/80e's are electric (boogie, woogie, woogie)

Why would your tach stop working if you disconnected it?

Why don't you want to keep cruise? If you have a dbc 99-02 LS an stock computer going cruise is super easy. 84+ g body turn signal cruise switch, like 6 wires and a cruise module from a pickup. A dbw is even easier. Just need a digital speed sensor in the trans.

Well, if it were me, I'd pull everything out, lay it on the floor, and measure end to end. I'm pretty sure all the trans ends are the same; you need the correct speedo end (screw on or clip on), I believe. Maybe try a Collonade body cable.....
