Speedometer

Guest

I'm the proud owner of a 1972 p-car. all is in very good condition expect a few items that I will be brining forward to this forum over time. My first issue is the speedometer does not work. What is the first system or portion of the cable I should check. please be specific. I am mechanical but have not dealt with this before. I'd like to start with something simple, like where it goeas into the zf (or not?), or should I plan on the cable needs to be replaced, and if so how. The car has 17" hall 2 piece rims with 335 on back

The cable attaches to the ZF on the passenger side behind the halfshaft. There is a right angled connection coming out of the ZF. I believe there are 2 varieties used, mine is a Bendix. One thing to check is to ensure the cable turns freely.

Be careful.If your'e going to check that portion of the cable, don't disconnect where it actually goes into the ZF. Only disconnect the upper portion of that part. I believe something can fall in if you remove the lower part.
