Does the speedometer cable attach to the drive gear on the torque tube on all '37 - '39 Fords? This message was edited by bsblags@q.com on 2-13-19 @ 5:31 PM

It's been a year since I worked on my '37 so can I can't quite figure something out. We installed a '39 transmission and I went to attach the speedo cable on the torque tube and I don't see a spot to do it. I looked at another torque tube and the speedo hookup was there. We had to change the tiny driveshaft because it was the original for the 60hp which I am replacing with and 85hp. I'm also converting it to hydraulic brakes so the mechanical brake stuff is gone. Therefore, I can, with a light, get a good look from the back and I cannot see speedo attachment place. (the driven gear) I suppose it's possible we rotated the torque tube so the attachment point is on the bottom but I can't believe we would have. It's been a year and I just turned 70 so who knows.

hi it should be on the top of the drive shaft, you might have to remove the floor pan to get to it,now I guess when you installed the transmission , and hooked up the torque tube, you forgot to attach the speedometer drive, it is in hard place to get at, hope this helps, 1937RAGTOPMAN
