Re: [Chevelle-list] odometer mileage adjusting / Update
I successfully advanced the mileage on my 66 odometer. After removing odometer from speedometer assembly. Keeping the disks on the shaft. Going through a series of rotating the gear counter clockwise and then clockwise, realign all the tabs, all while holding the disks and tabs I didnt want to turn. Took a few minutes, reinstalled odometer assembly to speedometer. Bench tested it with a drill attachment and it works fine. Dont know if this is how the pro repair shops dose it, but it worked for me. If you would like detailed info let me know. Krister -- Original message -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have my 66 speedometer completely disassembled. I kept the odometer in tack but would like to know how to adjust the mileage shown. I actually want to roll it forward 1250 miles. (I am one of those anal ones speedometer was inop with an estimated 1250 driven) It has little arms that all line up and messing around with them I rolled the hundred wheel back a digit. Not sure of the functions within. Thank you for the help I think after this I will be done with questions for a while. Krister Meister 66 SS #s
Re: [Chevelle-list] odometer mileage adjusting
I don’t know about a Chevelle Speedometer, but…I had a 1978 Ford Pickup, you could remove the speedometer and take it apart very easily. You then look at the back. There is a pressed in pin or rod that holds the gears against the odometer number wheels. The pin or rod could be carefully tapped out, and the numbers moved any way you wanted them. The problem is…..making sure the alignment of the numbers is correct. Then, all you have to do is reinstall the rod. After doing it several times…it’s pretty easy. It takes probably less than 30 minutes or less.

Re: [Chevelle-list] odometer mileage adjusting
In actuality this would work, but if you spin it at 120 mph, it would take 10 hours to get 1200 miles on the odometer. I have taken them apart way back when and set them to what I wanted. But it is really hard to get them apart and back together right where they work correctly again. I am thinking it is pretty easy to role it ahead like you are wanting but not to role it back. Look at it and see if there is a little tab or a small piece of plastic that only lets it turn one way. lift the tab ever so gently and try to get the setting you want. I have also seen the little pieces of tape that goes on the wheels with the numbers on them. But that was a long time ago...

Re: [Chevelle-list] odometer mileage adjusting
I think you are better off not fooling around with it. As a general rule, if it's not broken, don’t try to fix it. Unfortunately you may have already messed it up. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 2:32 PM To: Chevelle List Subject: [Chevelle-list] odometer mileage adjusting I have my ‘66 speedometer completely disassembled.
