Cable keeps coming off the back of the speedometer and I fixed it with a tie rap and everthing was ok. As I was driving on the fwy at 65 the speedometer started to go up in speed and I had not change speed. It keep going until it got to 5 an stopped. Then it dropped stright down and no moving anymore. The Odometer is still working and just no speed. Please Help, ---

Speedometer is broken. There may be someone who can fix it, but your probably better off getting a replacement at a salvage yard. I don’t know of any local shops still around that rebuild speedometers. They’ve disappeared, like buggy whip companies. ---
