[DeTomaso] Cruise control again--you how one project causes something else to break...?

[Christopher Kimball]

Dear Larry,

Thanks for the into.  Due to some modifications I've made, getting to the back of the speedo is difficult.  Is there any other way I could check?  Isn't there something on the old unit that would give me an idea of which one it is?  My speedo is miles per hour.

Sincerely,

Chris
