The original cable from '60 #2272, a 290 FI car, reads "AC Spark Plug Div" on the Distributor end but "AC Speedometer" where it connects to the tach. No repo that I have come in contact with reads that way.........but I haven't seen them all.

Mike, I'm sorry - didn't realize that I had the only one left in the world. Maybe I should take it off and get a booth at next year's Carlisle......

1959 #2520 has AC Spark Plug Div on the distributor nut but the tach nut is plain.

Doc, I belive the tach side nut is aluminum. Right? Don't ever think of having one of those cable critters cadmium plated. I did that for a customers 61 or 62 and it came back with the aluminum nut all eaten up. Customer wasn't happy so I replaced it of course. JD
