I have a 66 Satellitte with a 440 6 pack. 79,000 miles on it. Yesterday the speedometer needle stuck at 58 mph. The odometer still works. Any ideas or suggestions? It has a 150 mph speedo. The weather has finally warmed up and I took it our for the first ride of yhe year. Please help.
Thanks, vpugly

Chances are there is dirt or dust causing the problem. However, you need to remove the cluster to clean it out. While in there, oil the speedo cable too. You can use WD40 or something like that to do it.
