I have been driving the car around town and decided to work on the speedometer, since it didn't work. I went for a little ride and held the speedometer cable in my hand and found it wasn't turning. I went under the car and found the speedometer cable was connected to the transmission. I took the car to a local speedometer repair shop and took in 2 other speedometer in hopes one would work. The shop found the speedometer cable broke inside the housing and found none of the speedometers I had worked. They did rebuild one speedometer but they couldn't fix the speedometer with the trip odometer.

Who can repair the speedometers with the trip odometer? My local guys can't and now I have 2 cars that the trip odometers don't work.

I must have had an exhaust leak as when I started the car with the repaired speedometer, it was quieter. So the speedometer shop tightened up my exhaust pipe where it connects to the exhaust manifold.
It's nice to know the speed I am going with out using an app on my cell phone.
I want to drive this car to California for the PI National Membership Meet in February 2017.
