The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Speedo not working-cable or Speedo unit?

Last week the speedometer started making a "clink-clink-clink"sound then stopped working. I ordered a new cable,and installed it. I noticed the speedo input turned a little hard so I lubed it with a little lock oil. The cable was broken down near the drive gear. When everything was back together,it still did not work. Is my speed head broken inside? Its a Stewart Warner oval head,that shows 66K,and the lead seal is still in place.
