Question
I have purchased a 1952 chevy delux with the speedometer not working.  Can you help me trouble shoot? cable seems to be complete.  Suggestions??

Answer
Hi Jim... put the cable end in a drill and at low speed let it spin.... does the speedo work... if not there is likly a problem in the sppedo itself...take cable off speedo and make sure it is spinning first....there are lots of places on the web where you can get the speedo rebuilt or replaced... hope this helps
