Speedometer

Won't run? Engine, cooling system, fuel pump, carb, clutch, tranny, brakes, etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Engine & Mechanical' category are here.

Wow, it sure looks like a speedo cable in the listing. Did they package it wrong?

2869ral, you should buy the lottery! What are the chances of misplacing a throttle cable for the speedometer one?

With that number, I was able to find it at other part stores, like Rockauto. Supposedly fits a number of Datsun/Nissan and one Toyota LC.

The dimmer switch does fit and the holes are good.

I spent a lot of time running a new wire today and I couldn't get low beams. I am still not getting voltage from the switch to the low beam wire.

My fuel gauge also stopped working today. I must have done something to it. This truck is definitely putting me through the paces.

Sounds like the new dimmer switch is not connected properly.

I know this is an old thread, but what was the final outcome? I need a speedo cable for my '69. Any help?
