Tripe odometor
Hi Folks,
Have a question on the trip odometer, how do you reset. I see it underneath the steering wheel but it won't move. Do you pull down, push up or spin it to rest it? I have a 71 vette.

Everyone is correct.
If you turn it clockwise I think,? it turns the tenths one tenth at a time.
You'll be dead before you zero it out.
If you go the other way it will eventually synch to all zeros and you stop when they line up in the odometer window.
That's how my 68 works and I believe it is functioning correctly.
Push up and turn.
Pull down you end up with a **** in your hand.
