Trip Odometer replacement on '77?
The trip odometer on my '77 L-82 is bad. It works, but you can't reset it, as it feels like there's a gear that's stripped. I've already gotten a new trip odometer and am wondering if I should go ahead & buy the 9" trip odometer cable ($55) as well. I don't want to get the dash taken apart only to find out I don't have what I need to fix it............Also, is there anyone here who can point me in the right direction as far as the procedure for performing this repair, as I can see that the speedometer will have to be removed from the dash & taken apart in order to install the new trip odometer. Thanks!!!!

There's pics of the car here at my web site; yes the car is very clean, very original. This's one of the last details I need to take car of before I try for a NCRS 'Top Flight' award. Thanks!!
