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

Originality / 69 L78 radiator question

« on: October 07, 2008, 02:16:12 AM »

i have a 69 L78 4 speed car with a straight neck radiator. I believe the radiator is a 3 row. the core (with out tanks) measures 23" across by 1 3/4 " in width.  the tanks are original with the original tags and date. of course at some time the core was replaced. my questions are
                       1) is  a 3 row core correct?
                       2) are the measurements correct?

       what i am getting at is: I want to have the original style top and bottom channels installed on the core and I want to do it the right the first time. 

                        1) anyone know where to buy the channels?
                        2) how about a good radiator shop to do the job?

                                                                             THANKS IN ADVANCE
