Maintenance / speedometor noise, HELP!!!!

« on: November 29, 2009, 02:02:50 PM »

i posted last week asking about how to lube a speedo cable and the help here was great. I pulled the cable out of the housing from the top and lubed it completely.  i just buttoned it up and went for a ride.  I am still getting the same racket.  it is not one hundred % of the time  and seems to be mostly between 20 and 50 MPH. when the speedo is making noise the needle is jumping up and down, when the speedo is quiet the needle is smooth and works properly.  any ideas

thanks in advance

whats the best way to lube a speedo cable?   i have heard you can pull out the inner part , lube it and put it back. is this true?  can it be pulled out from ther trans or does it have to come out from the top?  any help would be great, right now i am getting an annoying amount of noise coming from the cable. thanks in advance

Maintenance / Re: Proper brake bleeding procedure for 69 Camaro

« on: June 24, 2009, 01:21:02 AM »

when i put on an original booster and master, i first bench bleed the master and then after installation, i blend the bleeders at the wheels and to my surprise it was perfect the first time.    i did nothing with the metering block or proportioning valve.

it would be down in the rough cast by the oil filter.  it runs vertical and  its very hard to see in most cases.

IMO  and its just that, the hook on the pass side mounting bracket (not the ab clip) could have been used to hang the radiator during painting. again just a thought.
