Speedometer Chrysler 1951

[Durkis]

Hi!

I also have a question about the speedometer in my Windsor.

There is one counter that says how far the car travelled total, and there is the one to the left (i dont know what it's called in english...could it be odometer?) it just runs to 9999 and then it start from zero again.

I know the purpose of it but I can't find a knob or something to reset it to zero with, aren't you supposed to do that to keep track of the distance on a certain trip?

I hope you people understand what I mean.

It is called a "trip odometer". It could be used to keep track of a journey. Also, it could be reset to 0 at oil change time as a reminder of the next oil change.

I looked under the dash and found a short wire with a spring around and a bolt/nut in the end and it fits down to the hole were it's supposed to be. But when I try to turn it around the speedometer needle kind of twitch and it feels like it's stuck, it feels like i'm turning a spring...it' not a big thing I just like things better when the work
