It doesn't come off. It's a spring style captive clip. Just push it toward the front, and pull the cable out at the same time. It is easier with two people. Hold the clip in, while someone pulls the cable from the engine compartment.the car was equiped with cruise control but i don't think it made it back in after the engine change. i don't see any thing extra hooked up to throttle linkage. looks like choke and gas pedal. the cable looks secure on the back of the gauge how does tthat meatal retainer come off?
Not a problem.wikkthe internal cable pull all the way out from the transmission. and hard is it to fish it back in. this would seem like the better way to do this instead of trying to work up under the dash. i guess i need to read my manul some more too. thanks for the help guys
The transducer will be just outside the firewall. The cable from the speedo will be about 18 inches long and will go into the transducer. If the transducer is still there, disconnect the cable going back to the speedo. Use a drill motor and turn the cable. Have a helper watch the speedo and see if it runs smoothly. IIRC you have to run the drill in reverse.the car was equiped with cruise control but i don't think it made it back in after the engine change. i don't see any thing extra hooked up to throttle linkage. looks like choke and gas pedal. the cable looks secure on the back of the gauge how does tthat meatal retainer come off?
Yep. If still there, they gum up and make the needle bounce.:thumbsup:The transducer will be just outside the firewall.
