62 Speedometer

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

That happened to me on my first Imperial, a 63 back around 1970. The dash lights used to go off sometimes & I would give the top of the dash a couple of slaps & they would come back on. Well, I guess I did that a bit too hard one time & got the condition you describe.They said the problem was the speedometer jewels. At that time, it wasn't a problem to fix. I don't recall what they charged me to make the repair.

My 'new' 62 has an interesting speedo problem.  When you get up to about 65, the traveling band (needle) goes up to about 100 pretty rapidly and stays there until you slow down below 40 or so.

 

Anyone seen a problem like this?
