It may not have actually been cable driven, but had a gear driven VSS of some sort in the transfer case.I thought Ford had completely converted all the speedos to electronic by the mid 90's Funny though that they didn't and you used late 1950's speedo parts 40 years later The damper bolt is torqued to about 90-100 ft/lbs, not 30-50. In any case (5.0) do NOT beat it on with a hammer, use the bolt to cinch it in place.
Dang, must have been the pulley bolts (it is written dead center between them and the dampener bolt)
