I found this a while back -
Red Line wanted $75 to make a cable, and it had to be ordered over the phone with a credit card. I have yet to get around to doing it.

I'm not sure if I'd spend $75 having $30-35 replacement pieces around which I have found working nice. The only detail is how picky you want to be getting the right nut to the tranny... hex head or round splined nut are the options, being the hex head the correct one. That could make a price diff on the replacement options, depending on dealers stock.
then 1" or 2" longer or shorter... well... there is enough distance and area to get that diff

I'd agree with you if changing the speedometer cable was as easy as changing a spark plug. Unfortunately there is more than $30 of PITA involved.

Definitely a PITA trying to get that cable connected into the gauge itself. I had to drop the steering column and lower the instrument panel to get my fat hands in there to snap it in.

If you get a Big Block, wait to change driver side spark plugs LOL. now about the price diff... there is no difference on the mounting dificulties getting a $75 or $30 speedo cable LOL

The difference in mounting difficulties comes from doing it again when the cheap cable fails.

The cheap cable is tempting though.

I still think there is not something to really worry about that. But that’s just my opinion.
