RE: Speedometer and Odometer out

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

... if you're talking about an '84 4kq it has a cable driven speedo/odo, not
an electronic one.  The connection at the head is notorious for breaking ...
my '85 is like others I'm aware of ... basically kept in place by the
grommet that seals the cable from the engine compartment ...

HTH!
