Post subject:  Still Looking for Park Lock Cable

I am still looking for a transmission park lock cable for my 64 valiant slant 6 pushbutton auto. Anyone out there have one kicking around?

I didn't have much luck finding a good one, either. If you've got one with a melted jacket, my buddy ended up repairing the one off the race car with a whole bunch of oversized heat shrink tubing and patience.

Unfortunately mine is beyond repair. Had a fight with a cutting torch and lost ! (wasn't me but the previous owner that was replacing floor pans)

If you can't find any try these guys. They can custom build stuff. The cost is relatively reasonable and product is good.

There's also Imperial Services. I've never ordered anything from them so can't vouch for quality or delivery, but they want $209 for a reproduction A-body park cable.

Imperial Services: Nice stuff, very nice, but last I knew the odds were you'll grow too old to drive a car by the time your order is filled. Perhaps they've addressed that shortcoming.

This outfit might be able to repro the cables, given a sample (however battered). The dollar exchange rate is good right now.

The urgency for a cable is over.....cause I temporarily repaired mine. The problem was the cable had come off the hanger bracket, and resting on the exhaust pipe burning a hole in it allowing transmission fluid to leak out. I took a 12" piece of 1/4" id fuel injection hose, cut a slit down one side and slid it over the cable with lots of rtv silicone. 7 hose clamps over the length of the hose and problem solved. (although a little mickey mouse !)
