My speedometer stopped working on me and was wondering if someone knew how it works? The lights are still working, but the needle don't move. It's a 72 btw.

speedo works off a cable run by a gear (the angle drive) at the rear of the transmission. easy procedure to test speedo is to disconnect cable at angle drive and spin using a drill. you must spin in correct direction. this basically tests from cable forward so you can determine if cable and speedo are good. next is to disconnect the cable at the rear of the speedo (ouch, my hands hurt due to the small space and sharp metal). spin speedo in correct direction to test speedo.
