I\u2019ve never done this before, so I sat down tonight with the old speedometer that came in the $5 box of parts I got this winter and proceeded to tear it down, clean and rebuild it. Something neat I noticed, on the back written by hand was the mileage and a date of 7-28-60. My guess is this may have been the last time this speedometer was rebuilt. Pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p>The back ring where the cable goes in was stuck pretty good as all old speedos seem to be. After getting it all torn down, I cleaned and lubed everything real good and reassembled. Man does that thing work smoothly now! Can\u2019t wait to get the car back with the new tranny and put this refurbed speedo in. I\u2019ll let you know how it worked out.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-856\" title=\"Lots of moving speedometer parts\" src=\"http:\/\/www.my55chevybelair.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/speedo-rebuild-297x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"297\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/speedo-rebuild-297x300.jpg 297w, http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/speedo-rebuild.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I finally got to the point where I figured since I\u2019m getting a new tranny I might as well have a working speedo to go with it.
