Right, so I finally got around to replacing my speedo cable. Bought the cable from PP a few months ago. So today, I go out, pull the dash, pull the carpets, make sure that there is nothing obstructing the old cable. Go to the back, jack it up, put in the jackstands, clean off the old cable, tie twine to it, tape it flush and I am ready to rock and roll.
I grab a wrench to pull the old fitting off the tranny and (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) !! The replacement cable has threads on the inside, the old cable has them on the outside. Is there a difference in years? Mine is a 73. Not sure if i missed something here. Going back to PP tomorrow to see if they'll do me a swap. Car is sitting in the driveway, wheel off, dash off (fitting a replacement speedo with working odo while I am at it). I am bummed. |
