Ok so I have figured out the speedo differences. When I spin the back of the speedo the needle moves (makes me assume its good). Then I hook up the cable to the speedo and down to the trans. I lubed the cable and it seems ok. I pulled the gear pinion out of the trans and the teeth look good. Now when I hook the cable up to the gear and spin it (not installed of course) the needle moves. So why doesnt my speedo work and whats the next direction to go? Thanks

Wow, great info as always. I don't like to modify my Z at all but am willing to adjust as needed. I will weigh out pricing and availability. I checked and my 71 choke won't work because of length. Ill think for a few days and then decide. My 73 runs so smooth and starts up so quickly a choke wont become a factor till late fall so I have time.

I am trying to install a choke cable on my 73 because it didn't have one installed when I bought it. I took the cable off of my 71 and thought I would install it on the 73. Then realizing the hole that the cable goes through on the 71 isn't there on my 73. Sooo..... My question is: A) Is the 71 and 73 cables different Do I have to cut a hole in the 73 to make it work. (Doesn't sound right) C) The picture with the arrow is the choke cable hole (below the CMC) and I need to find one that will work for my 73. Because it would need to be longer because the position of the hole. :stupid: I hope this makes sense and any help would be appreciated as always.

I had to look up shunt (genius). Not sure about that but interested in why you first thought that. I took pictures of the red wire. It seems like a ground but not sure why its red.

The speedometer in my 73' doesn't work and I was going to replace it with the one out of my 71'. What is the box that the arrow is pointing at? What if it isn't used?
