Why do you have to thread it through everything? Tach cables come in two
parts: cable and housing. If you disconnect both engine and tach ends,
you can pull the cable out and thread a new one back in, using the old
housing. Be sure to use plenty of moly grease, to keep the cable
well-lubed. BTW, any speedometer shop can make up a new cable, with the
proper ends.


Hmmmm...
You've just offered a third alternative... replacing the inner cable
without replacing the cable and housing (I had been figuring on
replacing cable AND housing)... But what if there is a slight kink in
the housing?
