Need to start with what helm you have installed. Being a 1972 the best bet would be to replace the helm and cable. Seastar or Uflex makes a wide verity

How do I find out what I need?

Have to take things apart, but if your going to replace all of it, I would call Seastar and ask them what they would recommend. So far as the length of cable, remove it and measure how long it is
