Hmmm, maybe I can just put it on blocks and leave it run in reverse for a couple days.... That's what they did with that old Ferrari in the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and it was a "smashing" success!

I know what you mean, it's tough to think about walking into something completely unfamiliar. It may not hurt for you to talk to them in person, maybe get a feel for how they run their business.

It would be less "miles" for me to go forward... the odo currently reads 67,000... lol I figured I'd reset it to about 1000, that's what the motor has on it according to the prior owner.

Too bad you don't have another dash like that laying around, you could experiment with it, instead of messing up your good one...just in case!

Yeah, I'm pretty good at turning a minor repair into a major mess... I know I have a speedo from a 70 in a box somewhere, but I haven't seen it since we moved all the crap into storage. Guess that gives me something to look for if we ever get moved.
