just went thru this last week when I went for a spin around the block I noticed my odometer has begun to roll back......E-mailed a tech and heres what he told me.
I have only the 90 gear adapter on the speedo ( autometer smiths knock off reverse winding 180 mph job)

"Hi
The 90 degree adapter, is it dark grey with brass fittings?(AA type)Or silver-grey with black fittings? (SW type) Either way, the principle is, the threaded fitting that the cable screws on to needs to come off and pull the gear and shaft out.
Then screw the end cap directly opposite off and screw it on where the threaded fitting was.
Stick the gear and cable end fitting into the side where the end cap was.The fitting that screws on to the speedometer stays where its at.(Doesn't get changed) Good Luck.
