Autometer Gauges

[wadesdad]

Has anyone had any luck getting the Autometer right angle adapter to work properly with the reverse speedomoeter?

I can return it and Tri-States Mortorsports will set it up properly, but I'd prefer not to send it back. They say I can flip a gear in it. I tried with no results.

Not the autometer brand, but...
Make sure the drive rod that's about an inch long is not bottoming out between the speedo and the gearbox. Test function with an electric drill prior to install, this also helps break them in.

My problem is that whatever I do, the speedometer still works the "normal" way. I can't get a reverse rotation into the speedometer. I have one of the only new replicas with really high mileage. --99,370---

[Mr.Fixit]

So you attach the gearbox to the speedometer, then attach the cable to the gearbox, perpindicular to the input on the speedo? What speedo do you have? It is mechanical right? Right to left sweep? The gearbox is not straight through, the input and output are 90 degrees from one another, right?

The Autometer Cobra speedometer gauge instructions say to install the speedo without the reverse drive and test it.
If it does not register or goes backwards, then install the right-angle reverse drive.

No matter what I do, the odometer works backwards, with or without the adapter.

I'll get a hold of Tri-State Motorsports Monday.

Thanks for the input.
