68 GTS Speedometer doesn't work

I've done a lot.

Rebuilt or restored (not all me)
1. Steering Box
2. Carburetor
3. Power Steering Booster
4. All new brake lines and brakes
5. Re-gasket the upper end of the engine
6. A little here and a little there

At one time the speedometer did work but the car had been on jack stands for 28 years. I had the transmission rebuilt about 3 years ago and that's when it stopped working.

I'll try taking the cable out of the transmission and do the drill test.

When you say "do not pull the inner cable out from the speedo head" are you talking the end of the cable at the transmission?

Thanks...

The car is not moving?

Not a lot of info to go on.

What have you done to the car lately?
Did the spedo ever work correctly?


As for testing the easiest would be to pull the speedo cable from the trans and look at the cable insert. you might be able to hook it to a drill motor and spin it to see if the speedo moves. Try spinning the cable counter clockwise but be careful you do not pull the inner cable out from the speedo head in the process.
