Finally got my 1500 on the road after only 16years. It celbrated by breaking its speedo drive, (the cable is intact and the angle drive working fine). Just looked in the moss catalouge and it lists 3 Speedometer pinions, in 20 tooth, 21 tooth and 22 tooth versions. I have a 1975 car with 3.9:1 diff and a 120mph spedometer, anyone know which one I need?. I also have plans for fitting a 3.7:1 diff, would I be right in thinking this would need a differnt pinion, if so which one?.
I also have a sticking thottle, mostly down I think to the crap dsign of the return springs, but maybe this will settle with use. The fule guage also seems to be non functioning, it registeres between 1/4 and 1/2 when in fact it's empty, filling the tank sends it off the scale beyond full!, is this a dead speedo or voltage regulator? (my temp and oil pressure are proper mechanical guages)
