    Is there a way to put new odometer numbers on - in a clean and efficient manner? I put on the 1/10 numbers and it immediately peeled off with the old number stuck on the back. I cleaned it all off and was forced to use Gorilla glue to put it back on. However, the other numbers (the non-1/10th ones) do not rotate and I could not see how to take it apart to put new stickie numbers on the odometer. I think I need to punt and stop messing with it. Thoughts?

    Chevy Duty and others used to have these new .

    I hate fiddling with the decals , you need to clean all the old paint & stuff off really well first .

    It's easiest to just let a speedo shop do it , should only be $50.00 or so carry in . carry out and they'll lube the drive bushing too .

    That link doesn't mention the speedo nor odo......

    It also says the 216 engine is " High Oil Pressure " and should have a 0~60#
    gauge face on it..... :confused:
