Hi Max,

  After I wrote to both you and Larry, I saw that you'd posted about
becoming aware of the smaller angle drive at the speedo end. Trouble
was, I'd already sent the msg; didn't mean to patronize you.

  I suppose the smaller size of the drive at the speedo end might
account for their failing sooner than the one at the tranny.  So the
dilemma is whether to acquire a drive or try rerouting the cable.  If I
get an angle drive and it lock up, I'm DOA again.  I'm going to see if
there's a hole in the firewall behind my speedo.  If I could route the
cable straight out to eliminate the tight bend it would suit me fine. I
have lots of slack in the cable.  Could drill a new hole, too. 
Sacrilege!! (G)  If that fails, another lister has offered to sell me a
speedo-end AD.

  Cheers,

  CR
