    Beauty Rich! Congrats! Really great to see you on the road!

    If this marks the next chapter in the restoration of 4728, would you want to start a new thread/section on issues you're still getting resolved? I think this is about the 400th post here and there's lots of info. Might be easier for others to read a current list of issues than working backwards through this thread. Just a suggestion, up to you of course.

    Good point, I hadn't thought of that....I'll do that going forward.

    I have my lambda counter out so I can reset it and diagnose my speedometer.

    The counter rolled over while driving (at what I would've predicted to be 30K miles,) so I'm thinking I'm good from the wheel to the counter.

    I can see the needle move when I spin the upper cable, so I'm thinking that's good.

    But....my speedometer doesn't work.

    Any thoughts?

    the needle on your speedo moves when you spin the upper cable? does spinning the front wheel make the angle drive part spin?

    Was it working fine before you pulled the counter?

    Took my counter apart tonight & cleaned it a bit.

    I spun the upper cable and the speedometer needle moves.

    I spun the wheel and the lower cable moves.

    I attached the lower cable & spun the wheel....the thing in the lambda counter moves.

    I attached the upper cable & spun the wheel....the speedometer needle moves (albeit, somewhat jumpy.)

    It was too late for test drive, but I think it'll work. I'm guessing that I didn't have the upper cable installed properly...

    Could be some wear in the lambda or on the upper cable end that plugs into it. When I spun mine it didnt jump that I'm aware.
