I finally got to work on non functional speedo. Disconnected cable from angle drive and cable rotates. Pulled angle drive from back of speedo connected to cable and angle drive output rotates also. Put it all back together, drove it and the odometer or speedo still dont work. So, the conclusion is the speedometer has failed. Was only able to get speedometer out about 1/2 way out from dash, so will wait for later to continue the fight with the junk behind the dash to extract the unit.
I guess my options are to replace with new unit or send it out for repair. Checking with Park Place Motors in Bellevue (Local Hillbank rep) today to get pricing on new unit. My preference is to stay with the original analog setup as I want to keep the car as original as possible. Any experience with rebuilds, or cheaper supplier than Hillbank?
Thanks
Bob
