speedometer cable ?

[Wolf001]

How much does it cost for a cable on a pontiac grand lemans 1979 with a 305 4 barrel ??

I just ordered one today for my 84 monte. They could only get me a 2 piece unit, and its priced per piece. From the GM dealer it will cost me about $80. Kinda pricey I think, but I need it.

can I get that in the jobber made ??

You can get one on www.rockauto.com from 4-6 bucks. Depends on if you have 1 or 2 pieces, cruise control or no cruise control.

Wrong cruise control unit. That's the diaphragm.What you are looking for is what I believe is called the transducer and on a G body built before 1984(?) it is mounted on the inner fenderwell on the driver's side. The cable comes out left of the throttle cable on the firewall, and a little higher up. Then a second cable runs from the transducer to the transmission's tailshaft, and is held in place by a small sheet metal piece that bolts to the trans crossmember with a 10mm bolt. It runs between the firewall and the fenderwell for a few inches and disappears there. Interestingly, my Olds never had cruise from the factory, but still has a 2 piece speedo cable from the factory, and my car would have read the vehicle speed off the VSS and did not have the seperate transducer unit under the hood.
