Vette(s): 1982 corvette crossfire production numer C5101985. Color is silver and claret. All original numbers match. slight mods to crossfire for better efficiancy and power balanced and added fuel pressure assembly between throttle bodies,
Since the Speedometer gear is being talked about, on my 82 the speedometer bounces and squeaks most of the time, occasionally it will stop squeaking but it still bounces, I am not sure how to correct this, 
do I need to replace the cable? tighten it at the head unit or tranny? its a really annoying squeak and since i dont have my stereo fully hooked up i cant drown the noise out while driving...LOL
thanks in advance for the assistance

I would first suggest removing the cable, and lubing it. Do the upper and the lower cable. If that does not take care of the squeak, the noise is in the speedo head. Ouch
