[T3] speedometer

[73 squareback Cincy]

In my 1973 squareback it only advances in the winter time... If it gets 
about say 50F or warmer it wont work... but if its cold it works fine... 
But I would be interested in sending it to ya jim if you would be 
interested in repairing it... My car is sitting in the garage because i 
got to rebuild my 32pdsit carbs and I have to buy some new treads. so i 
wont need the spedo for a little bit anyways.
