Larry:

Mine is a TE, and there is an armored cable clamped to the bottom of the dash brace. No idea what is it if it's not the speedo cable, and I didn't really pay any attention other than swearing at it while attempting to put the bolt back in.

I'll be glad to be done with this job, it's a PITA (still waiting to pick up rubber connectors).

Peter
