Default Odometer Help

I have a '72 and the only way I can reset its odometer is by pushing up on its reset **** and turning it. According to the NCRS tech manua, the odometer should reset by pulling down and turning the reset ****. Any thoughts? Thanks

Assuming you're referring to the trip odometer, my '76 is changed by pushing up and turning, same as yours.

Is it possible that the speedo got swapped out with a later one at some stage? Just a thought...

Thanks for the info. The tech manual must be wrong on this one - its the 4th edition that just came out (page 7).
