Should I lubricate the speedometer of my 70 Challenger? With what? I have it out of the car so I can do a thorough job.

Graphite powder works well.

I just did mine the a few days ago using synthetic caliper and brake grease. It won't attack plastic or anything else, is loaded with graphite and moly and won't wash out. I use it on virtually everything that nees lubed, even my swaybar and suspension bushings. Great product!

ATP makes some lube especially for speedometer cables. It is really tacky so it stays put on the cable.


1968 Charger project. I don't have a fender tag or a buildsheet, so it's getting a 440. Help me decide on a color--most everything looks great! (NOT white. My Challenger is white. Need some variety :D)
