A855 - 5 Speed
Speedometer.
Used my original speedometer pinion adapter and gear, ordered new seals from Brewers.
There is a gm, I believe, o-ring seal that fits the pinion adapter perfectly, and it has a metal ring molded in as well as a spring.
I set the stock seal down in the pinion where it sits, and put the other one on top.
Seals better and supports the speedo gear better too.
I got it off ebag, cheapest by far and fastest shipping.
YOU MUST INSTALL THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE BEFORE INSTALLING THE TRANS.
I hope that is clear. I 'messaged' the floor as well as there is literally no space for the cable to even exist there without more space.
The cable has a straight metal section at the base, so it can't immediately make a right turn, Clyde.
In the future, I will be cutting an access panel in the floor.
My speedo cable is for a full size 67 Mopar.
67 is an odd ball year cable, screw on at both ends. I couldn't locate a 67 a-body cable, and the full size is longer, which is needed.
The 5 speed has the speedo on the top right, passenger side. I like it better as it seems it's less likely to leak, but make sure you have the speedo gear you want and new seals before installing.
