Wasn't it In-Line Tube that was doing the kits ? I just got two from them. :2cents:

Yea, I've used several of them in the past...nice stuff.
Some people have had issues with the length of the intermediate  cable on the 71+ sets, but I haven't had any issues I couldn't resolve.

For Cuda's that have the intermediate cable set up;  the correct length is 85" only if you have the long hook off the trans member. There is a shorter K member hook but that one won't work with the 85" cable.

Later years had a shorter intermediate cable K member hook. It's about an inch shorter.

70-71' Challengers are a 2" longer wheelbase.
Their cable I believe for those years should be either 86" or 87."

The short hook vs. long hook rule still applies.

I went thru 3 cables to find all this out on my Cuda.

Inline Tube is where you should go to buy the cable.

Do not go to Fine Lines Inc. like I did before.
They aren't cable product knowlegable.
