Chuck -- I suspect your cable, but I don't know for sure. The needle on my '81 dances pretty much all the way up to speed, and the car makes a 'tick-tick-tick' noise in timing with the needle dance -- that's *gotta* be the cable. I've got a replacement sitting in my trunk; just haven't gotten around to replacing it...

You still have your turbo? Why not swap speedos between the two temporarily and see if the funny behavior travels with the speedo instrument or stays behind with the cable. I've got a spare speedo in my basement which I could mail you if you'd like. It came from a turbo; I pulled the cluster to get the tach.
