my speedomiter hasnt worked since i got the car the 8th of last month i just had the tranny rebuilt i have the cable coming from the tranny and there is a cable coming from my dash if i understand correctly the 2 cables need to connect to eachother ?? but there different sizes idk im lost what do i need?? its not original motor or tranny by the way

 

If your car is a 90, as your name suggests, you have an electronic speedo, and there is no cable. If your car is 82-89, its cable driven. There were three types of cables: a two-piece used with a transducer in early 80's cars; a two-piece that simply screwed together; and finally a single cable.

my user name stands for my name michael alan tanner jr borin in 1990 if you read my car details it states the car is an 83 but yet a mixter of different years if u read my prob it states that i have 2 cables and i need somthing to put the together inwich u were helpfull with calling it a transducer thank u and im sure the other things u mention will not go to waste im sure someone will find the information usefull

 

ok so i found the part and there about 150 bucks??? what else are my options for a speedo idc if it gets mounted on the dash and has to be pluged in i just want a speedo

 

Go to a junk yard, carp-part.com has every biggish junkyard on the site. I you can probably find the speedo cable online or look up some common part and then find the closest yard to you with a Camaro and just go there. Or you could buy an aftermarket speedo from somewhere but I wouldn't do that. You don't wanna mess with wiring and gauges alot, that's what the previous owner of my car did and now it's gonna be a major pain to get everything working.

Oops, my bad. If nothing else, you could swap in a one-piece cable to your OE speedo head.

you have a link to one of these i looked and cant find a one piece cable

 

I found several speedo parts for an 83 on the following site (look in interior):

I'd think you could pick something up at a local auto parts store.
