The speedometer on the dash is making noise. Is it the cable? Let's find out.
In this video, the entire speedometer assembly is removed from the dash, the cable/housing is removed and replaced, and the 1955 Ford is road tested to confirm success. Helpful review on reproduction parts and lube is also included.

Very nice! Well done Rev! I neglected to check the core of the cable in my mom's 55. One just "assumed" that it would come lubed already! Since hers has a C4 auto I had bought an ATP cable by custom length. I sure hope it was pre-lubed! Maybe I'd better check! Great video!
My '55 has a C4 as well and I was wanting to install a speedometer cable as well in mine. Is it working good for your mom so far and accurate? And if so, do you happen to have a link for the cable you bought?
@@aronjones7237 when I saw your comment I started digging to see if I had the old box or kept the part number somewhere, which I thought for sure I did (in case anyone asked) but it hasn't turned up yet. I'd have to go back to the earlier videos of my '55 and see if I made mention of it. I might have...? But still I'm usually good about saving part numbers for stuff like this. I DO remember it being a ATP brand part and wherever I bought it, it was a normally stocked Item. I'll keep digging!
@@OlysGarageThat would be awesome. I'd sure appreciate it!!!!
@@aronjones7237so here's the best i can do for you right now. I only found my notes, NOT what I actually installed. Should help some.
ATP Y-842 66" long
ATP Y-801 82" long
ATP Y807 60" long
Pioneer CA-3015 60" long
Pioneer CA-3010 82" long
See if that helps you out a bit. I want to say it was the 66" long one, but don't quote me on that. I'll keep digging because NOW I wanna know for sure as the one I did use fits perfectly.
@@OlysGarage Awesome! Yeah I'd definitely want to use the one you used cause it sounds like the perfect one for me to use on my 55 as well.
Very good information. I’ve got to change mine out as well. Thanks for the videos!
Got a question. First i like your videos. My question, i did 12 volt change to my 55. I am seeing my temp gauge pegged at 170 degrees. Do i need to increase my working voltage above 6 volts? I have a buck converter 6 volt output. I have factory 6 volt temp sensor. Dash gauge oem to car. Maybe you have a better suggestion.
Wired customs has wiring video
6volt to 12 volt
Okay I NEED one of those pairs of coveralls 😍
Please tell me where you got them. Im willing to throw money at whoever! xD
They are Dickies brand coveralls available at several online and department store retailers. I found the patches on eBay and had them sewn on by a seamstress.
