Electroluminescent Gauge Cluster

[RobertV]

My speedometer gauge is seized up in my 67 Charger gauge cluster. Any suggestions on getting it working? I'd like to get it working and calibrated. This is a weekend driver, not a show car. Not willing to pay $3000. Thanks in advance for any help.

How soon do you need it?

The first thing to do is try oiling it.
Near where the cable threads on you'll find a small brass plug with a little slice or hole which faces upward. Put a few drops of light lubricant oil in there and it should leak inside.
Then try spinning the input with your fingers

My phone tells me how fast my Charger is going. My gas guage does too.

How soon do you need it?

As soon as reasonably possible. I have a restoration shop working on a bunch of things for me. We tried lubricating the speedometer and turning by hand, but it still doesn't budge.

Tried that. Still won't turn.

I know someone who can do it but it will be quite a wait.

No.

I contacted jcauto and they said the guy who does their restoration work isn't available until fall. I also tried gaugedoc.com. He must be the guy that does the work for jcauto. He said he is moving and can't take on any work until fall.

I don't know any of those people.

Who did you have in mind? I just might have to wait.

You could run a Want To Buy ad. Have yours rebuilt when you can and sell the other. Fairly easy R&R, as far as speedos go.

I'm fairly new to the FBBO forum. I don't see a Want to Buy. Would I just start a thread?

I'm new too, but I think this is the Forum: https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/forums/other-stuff-for-sale-wanted.16/

Try Jim Rodebaugh in Ochelata, Oklahoma. He is the pro on '66-'67 Chargers and can rebuild the speedo for you.
