‘66 Barracuda- odometer works, speedometer does not

I have a 66 Barracuda also.
In the beginning, nothing worked and I had the gauge cluster out at least 6 times already...not a lot of fun, but not as bad as changing a starter.

Does everything else work? Temp gauge runs off the voltage limiter that is, most inconveniently, inside the fuel gauge, You can still get the circuit board...might not be a bad idea to replace that while you're there.

Fear not, you can change the speedo out. I wouldn't try to adjust the mileage though, easy to break those.
Get yourself a LED bulb set while you're in there and change all bulbs.

How's the appearance on yours? I have no chrome left on mine. I picked a complete cluster a year ago and I'm going to use a Melotow ( something like that) "chrome" marking pen. I tried the spray chrome...they should just call it "grey paint" because that's all it is ( even if the spray can cap looks good). I used the Melotow pen on the radio bezel and the only mistake I made, was not really believing that it look good.

I may have a speedo or two in my attic. If you care to PM me, I'll check around tomorrow

All the other gauges seem to be in working order. I’ll look into some led bulbs though, thanks for the tip.

Somewhat of an update, driving it around this past weekend and the speedometer needle moved all the way to ~130mph, and then slowly came down and now seems to be functioning, albeit reading over what I’m actually driving due to the 3.91 gears. So not quite sure what to make of it now haha.

Chrome is in good shape though
