60 baja Thu Aug 14, 2014 6:21 pm

So the speedometer in my 1960 baja bug was making a loud whirring noise so i took off the cable and lubed it with white grease. After testing it, i noticed its quiet until i hit about 45mph and it starts making noise again. Te needle also bounces around a tiny bit. So i looked at some threads about rebuilding them and am a little confused. I know how to get it apart and everything, but i dont know what to lube up while i am in there. Can someone show me what gears to lube up in there?
Thanks

Also, my blinker light doesnt work anymore, any ideas on that?

Try this thread out.

It is from the stickies in 58-67. Page two and three start talking about lubrication due to noise.

I had the same issue, which I reported in this thread:
