Re: Speedo Cable Leak (Housing)

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

After I got the cable out, I found there is an inner pinion seal that is 
supposed to keep oil from even getting into the housing.  Now to pull 
the seal it and see if I can find a replacement.

Also found a '64 valiant that I pulled the speedo cable from.  Was 
hoping it would have a Blue or Purple gear for the gearing change I am 
doing, but it was the orange one, just like I have.  Need the 19 tooth 
one with the gear change.  (Lowering from 2.93's to 3.23's).  Will trade 
someone for an orange one for a blue one, if willing.
