A agree with Stumpy for starters and I'm guessing the clock spring in speedometer might be faulty and I'd replace or re-lube the speedometer cable. Also I'd pull the circuit board while in there and check all the sockets for good contact. The pinging I'm guessing is clock-spring. I see NOS Speedometers for those frequently on ebay if that turns out to be bad. IDK how much you'd be willing to spend though. They tend to be pricey.


Facts are stubborn things.
