speedometer reads 140mph when im going 70mph?
#27
i tried to spin the peg it doesnt so i dont think its the cable. ya my cable barfed in my face and on my camera. I'm starting to think the gauge cluster is fubar because i noticed the steering column had once been removed and the cluster hood cover is cracked and glued as if it was removed once before too. It still was never connected all the way and yet to test drive since i cleaned the goop and secured it tightly, i have to register the car today so i will let you know if the problem is fixed if not I leaning torwards having to buy a new gauge cluster.

i knew that, but trying to turn it and it proving to not rotate would clearly prove that it was still connected at the tranny and that the cable wasn't internally broke or barely intact inside the cable sleeve plastic thingy...lol whatever its called. I am convinced its the gauge cluster for sure

well the odometer registers accurately every time when the speedometer is working and when its not. so it has to be the gauge magnetic/spring. I think you guys helped out a lot with this topic. I will be changing out both the cable and gauge cluster just because it is a old car now and could use both newer or low mileage parts.
