I have owned, in one form or another(drivers and parts cars), every
year B from 74(2) to 79 and have only seen Service Counter on my 76'
and it is located on fire wall directly below heater fan
the best way to check angle drives is to insert screwdriver tips of
approximately same size as speedo cable end at both sides of the drive
unit and turn with a slight amount of resistance on one side if striped
you'll feel it slip. Caution : to much resistance will strip the unit
Speedo jumps are more often than not caused by frayed cable get snagged
periodically on interior of cable guide tube.
