I took it to a repair shop this morning about two hours away south off Boston. The guy who is suppose to work on it just left for vacation and will be gone all next week. There was another guy there and I asked him if they had a special tool to remove the bezel without destroying the bezel. He didn’t know but said that the guy would never d…[Read more]

We’ll I was able to get the speedometer out of the dash. The next thing is getting the bezel off without destroying it. I’m sure they crimp the outer edge after it’s all assembled. I sent Bill an Email looking for advice. Any ideas here?

Mine are located inside the cab which would be to the left side of the drivers left knee sorta under the dash

I received the new switch today. Should there have been some type of gasket or should I put some pipe dope on the threads?

I did do a search for odometer and came up empty

Thank you for the help. I’m going to call Dick’s maybe tomorrow and possibly get some kind of quote. If I like it, the next thing will be getting it out of the dash. It is buried behind wires.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I did see that tires with wide whites walls are almost twice the cost of black walls. I guess there isn’t a big demand. So I think I’ll stick with black walls. Thanks guys.</p>

Thanks Ed

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Ed, do you use the full synthetic 75/90 gear oil or just the regular high performance oil?</p>

what do you mean Ed? Tha rear of the car is on ramps right now so the oil is flowing towards the front of the transmission.

Anyone know what I should be using for manual transmission oil? Is it just 90 weight gear oil. I may just drain it, clean the magnet on the drain plug then fill it up with good new oil.

I found a 22 MM wrench and loosened the switch. I removed it just far enough to find that gear oil will run out. Not sure if I can make the swap without making a mess. Now I need to find the fill plug.

Oh I did find my problem. One of the electrical contacts on the switch was broken off.

It was easy to find not fun getting it out. I thought I had all the tools I would need. Wrong. Got to go th Harbor Freight and get what I need.
Paul, do you or anyone else know that when I remove this switch, will I get a mouth full of gear oil? It a very hard place to get to and I don’t think I could put it back in fast enough to stop the o…[Read more]

Thanks Paul. That should be easy to find once I get it up in the air a little

WOW! $15,000 for that car. Seems like a lot off money because it needs a lot of body work and entire paint. I just bought one a week ago for $6,500 and mine looks so much better than that one
