Speedometer Refreshment- Part 2

[Sherman D Taffel <staffel1945@xxxxxxxxx>]

Then removed the speedometer from the dash cluster.  Simple. 2 screws held it on the steel cluster.

The drive of the speedometer would not turn with a small ( eyeglasses fix set size) screwdriver. 

Between PB Blaster , brake cleaner (carefully not to mess up Odometer discs), & Assembly Lube ( thin oil + graphite lube)  & Q tips; after about 1/2  hour the speedometer head units & plastic  Odometer drivegears worked like New. 

 Used Hydrogen Peroxide to clean up  the speedometer face & the #s on the Odometer discs.

Reinstalled the speedometer in the cluster & the cluster in the dash.   Ordered a new correct length speedometer cable & now looking forward to having a working Speedometer.

Also carefully cleaned up the speedometer needle ( after this pic) and will give it a spritz of fluorescent orange.

I did get the alternator gauge working a few years ago. The oil pressure idiot light bulb itself works but the sending unit is an issue. More on that later.
