Re: Eliminating Angle Drive

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

My idea for eliminating the angle drive would be to remove the angle
drive and have a photo-optic transducer in it's place driven by the
square shaft that used to turn the angle drive. This would make the
speedo electronic to interface with a digital dashboard like a Dakota.
You would lose the Lambda counter but I am sure you could duplicate it
with a digital counter in the speedo and light a light as a reminder.
Of course it is cheaper to just stay with the stock set-up even though
the angle drive is pricey. Make sure you have the lower cable support
bracket to keep the cable from hanging and everything should last a
long time if you lubricate it once in a while.
