Decided to drive down to Elkhart lake with a couple of friends for the PCA Chicago Region concours. Great day of driving and showing.....except for the rain in the way down....and my odo crapping out.
Good news, The judges saw fit to give the '73 the Best in show award.   The bad news is that my odo crapped out on the way home. Started squealing terribly and the speedometer started bouncing. Was still turning over the miles on the odo at first but I had to keep driving and after obnoxious squealing for about 25 miles the squealing (mostly) stopped, the speedometer stopped (mostly) bouncing but still works but the odor stopped turning over. So.....whats your diagnosis? Likely as simple as a cable or do I have an inoperative Speedo/odo unit now. Will post a video if it will load in the next post as it won't fit here. Thanks for the help. |
