Speedometer cable retainer

Ifitaintbroke
Does anyone know where to get the little clip that holds the speedometer cable into the vehicle speed sensor? I seem to have misplaced mine. HELP!!!

Do you mean 9F718?  If so it is part number E3AZ 9F718-A.  Maybe you can find one?

not sure which clip you are referring to. on bullnose trucks with c6 it is usually a basic cable drive speedo with a fork type clip (clamp) fitted onto the cable and held to the trans with a 1/4" bolt (7/16 wrench)

Thanks Gary! You're a lifesaver! Apparently those are still readily available. I'll look for my old one a little more before I order one.

It's the wire clip Gary pointed out in the illustration.
