86 OD rear case was easy to use on 83 car with cable driven speedometer by just swapping out the plug (held in by large O-ring) and substituting the drive system from 83 into the resulting hole. Seems to work OK so far. A little juddering of the speedo, but not bad.
Now for the "trouble". I used brass washers at the rear stud junctions to try to stop leaks...didn't work till I used a layer of Blue Silicon between the washer and the OD case. No leaks for now.
Am I looking at leaks in the future? I know the spots on the driveway will tell.
any other way? How long does silicon last?
Thanks,
el Raidman
