broken speedometer needle
10

Asked by Guru1V9H1 Aug 30, 2019 at 01:36 AM about the 1979 Chevrolet El Camino SS

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1979 El Camino my son took the dash off to replace a plug and broke
the speedometer needle off the speedometer. Is there a way to replace just the
needle? or do you have to replace the whole speedometer which will also
change the mileage.

If this can't be repaired then you'll have to replace it, and being a mechanical unit you should be able to set the mileage on it before installing it.
