Hey list. I havent followed this topic too much, boat project, its hot!!! I
have a 5  speed in a 67.5 1600 It looks like someone put two trannys to make
one. I cant run a speedo either. its pointed at the floorboard, the 45 angle
wont work. and I will not damage the car to make it work.  I have aquired 2
5sp trannys that connect the speedo   from the side. If anyone has a guess
on what my tranny is out of , let me know.  As for as knowing your speed, I
use a garmin  E map. I think it works better than that wind speedo I saw on
here a month or two ago , Chris
