Speedometer Needle Stuck
I'm afraid I already know the answer, but trying to determine what's wrong with my speedometer. While driving my '58 I looked down and the needle was stuck at 30, only problem was is that I was doing 65 at the time. The odometer is still turning so I'm thinking I have something wrong with the gauge. Am I correct? Is there anything I could possibly do without pulling everything apart?

Almost surely the speedometer "head". If the odometer is working the tranny drive gear and cabling is prob fine. Dash cluster pull and speedo fix (and I'm sure you didn't want to hear that)...
You can send it off to Bill Harrison or Corvette Instruments for a fix -- do the tach at the same time and save yourself some grief. The "small gauges" in a C1 are generally bulletproof...but a check out/recalibrate on those is cheap and doesn't hurt at the same time.
