Torque Arm Mount - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

I took my Spohn torque arm off and put the stock one back on. The mount just hits the speedometer cable but I can make it fit with the grinder. However the tip of the arm is only about a half inch away from the cable. Do you think it will hit when driving the car? The arm should only try to move up and down when accelerating and decelerating but as the suspension travels up and down I assume the arm will move forward and backward in the mount. Do you think it could move forward enough to hit the cable? Anyone else running the stock arm with a speedo cable? If so, have you had any trouble?

Probably hundred of people are. Since it's the OE set-up, I doubt you'll have any trouble--I didnt, and I ran the set-up for many years.

Forgot to mention that this tranny is a T56 six speed. It didn't have a cable drive for the speedometer and I sent the tail housing away to a machine shop to have one installed. I didn't like the Spohn torquearm I was running and when I went to switch back to the stock arm it was very close to hitting.
