I am working on a 1965 Valiant Convert. and have the steering column removed. I think you are talking about the cable that works the park gear in the transmission. There is another one that changes the gears. If the park cable is removed someone must have plugged the hole where it joins to the trans. or you will loose your trans. fluid. The cable's are almost impossible to find used and a new one is over 200.00 dollars. I just repaired mine because the design of the car had the cable too close to the exhaust and the plastic cover cracked causing the fluid to leak. I can send you a picture when I get to my shop as the cable is still out of the car. I had to re wrap it to seal the leak.
