Hi,
I have a squeaky speedo on my '81 and have ordered a new upper cable. But I have a question, is the cable the culprit of the squeak or do I have to apply lube to the actual speedo gauge? Other links really haven't been clear on this.
thanks;shrug
 
I'd pulling the metal cable out of it's sheath from the speedo side and lube it with dry graphite.
 
I've already ordered the new cable. So I guess it IS the cable that is the culprit?

Most likely.

When you change the cable you have to pull the speedo end through a grommet in the firewall. The new cable has to be forced back through this same undersized hole. You may be wishing you had ordered a new grommet before your finished. :)
