Re: [AMC-List] my 62 classic project

["Glenn Ford" <gcmford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Corvairs had left front wheel-driven speedo throught the spindle. I don't 
think
strength of spindle would be affected by drilling out for cable, if 
practical in this
case, but GM boo-boo'd and had after-market batches of cables made up
(I found out years later) that were made with an opposite twist in the 
cable.
I had one of those, and it totalled the casing when it unwound after about 
100 miles.
It snagged in the elbow by the wheel. I suspect there is an easier and 
better way,
probably with electronics, as Mark suggests.
