If the speedo was working I would just reseal it for now. Sounds like this car sat for a while and all your seals dried out.

My 70 only has the front one. Was this on certain models? What was the purpose?

Wow lucky you caught it early. Definetly looks like loose rotor screws or excessive shaft play. A second cap with a crack, makes you wonder. How old is the damaged cap? Possible manufacturing defect?

Wow great project and a very solid car.

Tony the car looks great. It's always good to have friends that are willing to help. You guys are doing a great job. Cant wait to see the finished product.

Has anyone heard how Davey is doing? Been a couple weeks now, hope all is still going well. My families thoughts and prayers are there for you and your family Davey.

Dave best of luck. My families thoughts and prayers are with you and yours for a full and speedy recovery.

Gorgeous car! Should be a beast when it's done.

As far as I know the consoles are the same. It's just the shift plates that are different. That's the info I got when I researched the console harness and correct shifter glass.

Larry I can't find the schematic or my notes anywhere. I did this about 4 years ago and can't remember where I put them so I wouldn't lose them. I do know the orange wire Peter is talking about has a free connector under the center of dash around radio and heat controls. I think the gray wire is under there too. The neutral safety switch and reverse switch wiring I pulled from the column and extended with the same color wires down to the console with a new switch on the floor shifter. I'll keep looking but hopefully someone else can give you some more info. Sorry bud.

I can't seem to find the schematic that I used. Sorry about that, I'll keep looking. I see Darren posted up some good info though.

I just extended the wires when I switched to the neutral switch on the console shifter. Much safer when the car won't start in any gear, like when I was still using the column switch with the console shifter. Ran them down the firewall and under the carpet. I'll look and see if I still have the wiring schematic. I don't remember if I had the plug or not. I did make my own harness though, I remember that.

Very nice build, keep us updated. Can't wait to see the results.

Great looking kids Tony. You're right about time flying, seems like you blink and they are out of school. Seems like just yesterday we were doing kindergarten thing and now the last one will be a high school senior next year.

Looks good. Can't wait to see it back together. Couldn't you sneak the exhaust just inside the ladder bars and run it under the axle?
