as you know i have a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu 4 doors
and i need to replace the speedometer cable but on the shop that i order the parts that is rockauto.com as i can't buy it local here in Israel for my car there are 12 models of that cable that fit my car and i don't know which one to order as they all are not so expensive still it don't make any sense that i will order all of them hopping that one will fit
so i am asking for your help if you can tell me what part to order as besides the different connector there are also different length and i don't know what will be the one that i need originally i had in my car install the 200 engine that is 3.2L and now i have a new 4.3L the same engine that come in the new safari with carburetor.

you should be able to narrow it down or get it perfect by measuring your cable and then picking the 1 for 200 engine trans?
