So I think I see the issue with the speedometer - or at least a problem. Not moving the speedo shows roughly 12 MPH. I estimate I'm getting up to 30 MPH, with no movement. Something seems very wrong with this unit.

I have tested the speedo by connecting a drill to the input shaft - the needle moves as expected. I don't have much time to mess with it these days. I'm attempting to retire and move closer to my brother. Of course, that might be turning into a pipe-dream. I was hit by an impaired drive earlier this year - and believe it or not, he's apparently going to attempt to sue me. And if I'm frank, I don't have faith in the justice system. But that's a story for another venue I suppose.

Today, I hope to tinker around on the horn for the old girl. There was a button under the dash that I believed someone used for the horn previously. The current steering wheel configuration has issues. The old steering wheel is brittle - I'm afraid if I pull it, I'll break it. It's on there pretty tight. It appears there are two machine screw holes that would be used with a puller to remove the steering while, but the threads are rusted and fairly shot. So... the button under the dash it is!
