Elliott,
The speedo conversion kit contains a right angle adapter that screws
into the Datsun tranny. It sound similar to the angle adaptor found
on B's. Anyway, this one contains gears that can be changed to match
both your tire size and your rear end gear ratio. The kit also
contains a new speedo cable.
The number of Bill Perry at Rivergate is: 423/332-2030.
Paul - bound for the poor house.
