can I just move the number wheels with a pick? or do I need to use a square drive bit in a drill for hour after hour??
Just send it down to North Hollywood speedometer and have them go through it and then set the miles where you want them. If it's a typical VDO gauge that breaks anyways, why not have it rebuilt and updated for $150 and not have to R&R it again?
