Re: Speedo lube

[David orr <fe2orr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I setting here with a 64 Plymouth speedo in my hand and see no place with a 
lube wick.  There is a small hole on the top of the part that use screw the 
cable on but there is a brass cap cup it it. At one time this may have been 
a lube point but not now.  guess you could take out the brass cup and put a 
wick in.  Maybe the wick only came on the higher priced chryslers.    Dave O
