[Shotimes] Crash Course In Speedo Cable Lube

[Jon Heese]

Yeah, I've actually lubed the speedo cable on two SLOs and three SHOs 
using the interior method, and I spent quite a bit of time trying to 
locate the speedo cable in the engine compartment each time with no 
luck...  Also, it's fair to mention that I've swapped and modified 
clusters and dash assemblies in countless Tauruses to the point where I 
can have the cluster out and back in the car in less than 10 minutes...  
To each his own.  =)
