65 Odometer trip cable routing?

[Dick G.]

On my sb 65, doesn't the trip cable for the odometer run through the hole in the park brake bracket?? Also the routing of the oil pressure line needs to be routed to the right(sitting in car) of bracket mount, to allow access to the 2 mounting bolts, right? The oil gauge is in line with this bracket. Thanks DG

Dick,

On my 66 sb the odometer reset cable comes from the cluster then passes thru a hole in the crossbrace and curves down and is attached to a bracket below my steering column. I have a tele column so that may be different. The oil line passes thru the hole in the top of the parking brake bracket and into the oil gauge. Awful design but that's the way it is.

Thanks Randy. That clarifies both. When I routed the trip cable through the crossbrace I wasn't certain it was correct. I did not find it in the AIM. DG

Dick,

I tried to find it it my 66 AIM before I replied but couldn't locate a clear picture. I did pull my cluster and a friend's cluster and pretty sure of the answers.

I think this is the hole (just above the steering column)where the trip odometer passes through. PT
