Anyone have a video on replacing a speedometer for a 35 Fordor? My speedometer is not working and I'm about to dive in to find the issue.

Thank you for your help.
 
You might start with checking the cable and the drive gear in the "turtle" on the driveshaft.
Could be a broken inner cable.
 
Dont do like I did.
Put a new cable housing on my 40.
Used the old cable.
New housing was an inch longer than the old one.
Surprise.
 
Suggest after removing the speedo cable from the back of the speedometer then place a small screw driver into the square drive and rotate the drive to see if it is nice and free to move or it may be stuck and not moving. If stuck it has to be freed up or the speedo cable may brake.
