??Speedometer wiring??

[Bill Verburg]

My odometer finally bit the dust, so it has to come out for repair

I did this 30yrs ago when I brought the car over but for the life of me I cannot remember how to pull some of the wires

the ones that at issue are the white/green and blk/blue pictured here, when you pull on them it feels springy but beyond that I dunno, any one remember how to?

Be very carefull . Don't pull on the wires .There's a spring inside the bulb holder & you don't want to pull the wire out . Unless you like to solder I like to use a putty knife / 5 in 1 painters tool . Slide the edge of the putty knife under the lip of the bulb holder & gently pry the holder up & out Remove with fingers .Take photos or notes so you know where to put all the wires back when you are finished. You might have to go around the holder & pry it up in a couple of spots . Cake !!! Happy Holidays !!!!!!!!!! BTW Hollywood Speedometers comes highly recomended By all !!

thanks!, I still have the 30 odd yr old wiring diagram for the last time I did this, so the brass base is what is pried up?

Yes, N. Hollywood Speedo, you can see the edge of the repair ticket from when I had them convert from K/hr to Mi/hr on the speed and km to mi on the odo.

OK got it!!
thanks again!
