Subject:      Finally Got Speedometer Cable.  Now what?
Comments: To: Vanagon <vanagon@vanagon.com>

Well, after reading your messages regarding the speedometer cable, I decided
to go under the van and follow the cable through.  Now I know what you meant
by the little box.

So, I called my local parts store and got a lower speedometer cable (US$24.50,
1 day wait).  It is about 2-3 feet long, and for the most part, looks like the
older except:

        The new one has two square connectors at each end while the older one
has only one.  The little
        black box has its own square connector.

Unless I superglue the two together, I don't think it will work.  Furthermore,
I can't seem to get the wheel-end connector to engage.  I am wondering if
these idiots at PepBoys left the connector in the wheel.  I really hate them!

Any suggestions?
