Ever since I did the aod and burned my factory speedo cable on the new headers it’s been a nightmare with this speedo . It would work intermittent. Put the car back together and nothing at all . I see a spot it got warm I figure let me get another and re route it . I pull the old one it spins free it wasn’t bound up . I put the new one in anyway I use some DEI heat wrap . I check the cluster while it’s out spins free and works .

Pull speedo gear and check it for defects . None . Gear is perfect . You can feel the teeth engage when it goes in . Does anyone just not make a cable that is actually internally the right length? It seems like it has too much play to slide oneway or another and that could be the issue .

it’s aggravating to say the least and it just looks terrible to not have it working while driving

also I did lube the cable with Graphite lube as it should get before it went in .

Good news. My buddy Scott has a 54k mile oem cable out of his car . So he is going to send it to me

I hear the key to keeping those things working right is spitting on the end of it before putting it in.

After installing the oem cable and having to pull it out of the trans 2 more times to move the cable around in the insulation so it touches both the speedo head and the speedsensor gear . We have a working speedo .

Picked this up this weekend . BBRC stock style tank . Going to this and a Weldon 1100a pump at the recommendation of Freezy and me not being a fan of my current Glenn’s sleeper setup . Going to have stands welded on the tank to bolt the pump up front . Then have it PC satin black .

this is new . Been sitting inthe dudes garage . Paid 425 they are588 plus shipping

Why do you not link the Glenn's setup?

I was looking at one of there 03-04 cobra tanks that they sell, but almost thought of just getting a 99-04 tank and welding in the baffles myself.

The 03/04 style is fine . The front feed sleeper I have is what I think cooked the motor last go round .

Took it to work today it’s 70 here .
Wiped the car down too while I had some time

I never get tired of seeing pictures of this car, you need to get some safeties in place for the system.. I monitor fuel pressure and AFR and if either go out of my allowable range it shuts it down to avoid damage.

It’s all monitored . It’s setup now to pull timing if inlet temperature is too hot etc . I haven’t gotten I to boost really at all . I am going through all the things that need to be addressed before we re dyno again
Thanks for the compliment dude ! Sometimes I am really fed up with it and then other days where it looks like it does in the pics I remember why I love the damn thing so much

I dig the mach. I have my sights set on a classic for the end of the year. I don't think I'll do the custom billet wheels for the fox.
