I don't think you need a special cable. It does need to be the correct
length but I believe all the cables have the same ends, only the length
varies.

I don't think a 1280 speedo works with any OD transmission (properly). A
1280 is the standard pre 1976B speedo for a non OD transmission. This
means you will have to; 1) re-calibrate the speedo, 2) use the speedo
that came out of the OD donor car.
