Speedo only works in reverse
Hello any help much appreciated
I have a recently restored 1934 Ford Deluxe 5 Window Coupe and the speedo has never worked in forwards direction but does work in reverse.
I disconnected the cable from drive worm on top of the enclosed tail shaft and used a battery drill to spin the cable. The speedo works in the anti clockwise direction but that is when you are in reverse.
Do i have the incorrect speedo ?
Can I change the direction the cable spins?
Is it possible to change the direction of the drive gear on the tail shaft ?
Cheers Chris
