Before you sink any bux into this, check and make sure that the lower cable
is being driven by the (supposed to be) square hole in the grease cap on
your left front wheel.  Mine was rounded out.  I tested the rest of the
speedo unit by wedging a small nail between the cable end and the cap.
Speedo worked.  Replaced grease cap with a new-to-me cap from a junkyard.

> The speedometer on my 86 doesn't work.  If I understand it correctly there
are 2 cables from the wheel to the dash.  Has anyone ever do the lower cable
before? Any advise?
