[old-chevy-truck] RE: 59 speedo

2010-08-29 Thread K Ohlgren

the gear in the trans is new (so is the trans)
new cable in old housing (lubed)
also the speedo doesn't jump around like a hanging cable.
not interested in updating to digital
 
 
maybe i'll pull it out and look at it. 
i was going to when i refurbed the face, 
but for some reason i was intimidated by all the fine parts in there.
i'll tear it down, clean it up and reset it to 0
what do i have to lose?
 
thanks for the replies

 Subject: [Oletrucks] 59 speedo
 
 the speedo on my 59 reads fast under 30, hangs at 30 from 30 to 45 and then
 reads slow over 45.
 is the speedo on my 59 worth rebuilding or should i just buy a new one?
 lmc has a new speedo for the 55-59 trucks for $150.
 has anyone bought a lmc speedo?

The odometer part is very very simple.I think four screws come out to 
access it.   My advice is to be careful that the little brass clip which keeps 
the gears in alignment is nice and tight.  To reset to zero you pull that clip 
off, turn each wheel to zero (or whatever number) and then replace the clip.
