73 Speedometer Needle Problem

[Gregory G.]

Driving my '73 this past weekend the speedometer needle upon acceleration became stuck on 20 mph. So then I accelerated further it became stuck on 30 mph. I turned around to head back home shut the car off heard a slight whine for about 5 seconds until it stopped. The needle was still on 30 mph so I tapped the speedometer glass and the needle returned to zero. I have not driven it since till I find out the problem and do the repair.

Any suggestions ?

Greg,

It's easier to fix than get out of the car. Send it or take it to a speedometer repair shop in your area. There could be number of things wrong but any speedo shop can fix it up right away.
