1974 MGB OD SPEEDO CABLE: If the speedo is NOT working, start at the gearbox. Does the pinion gear move when you rotate the drive shaft? Does the speedo cable transfer this rotation? The most common problem is that the driving or driven gear is wiped clean of teeth. Too bad. Pinion gears are HARD to find; the driving gear requires OD disassembly (engine out!). A frozen speedo can cause the gears to strip. The easiest problem is that the diamond made by the end of the cable (years ago it was squared) is too small and the cable just freewheels inside the square on the end of the gear. Use a dolly and hammer and make the diamond just a little longer.
