James -
EVERY other response I've gotten says the standard cable will
work. I'm hoping that (as Dave Massey said) the standard cable
will fit as long as I have the angle drive (which I do).
I looked in catalogs from TRF, Moss, Vicky Brit and Rimmers and
saw no other speedo cables listed. Do you have any part numbers
or references for these 'longer' cables? Thanks.

The OD requires a different, and as you have already observed!, a longer
cable.
Cheers.
