Now that i've had my wagon back for a while and have gotten some time to drive it and tinker with it; i'm reminded of what i liked about my first volvo so much... these cars seem to want nothing more than to be driven and used. Today i actually used the wagon as a wagon, i helped a friend move and loaded a matress into the back of the car. Now, i don't know about you, but something about seeing my 67 volvo doing exactly what it was intended to be doing 40 years later just made me smile. Then later i used it to transport some(free!) pirelli tires (165 sr 15 for the stock steelies) to my house. Just knowing that it is a 40 year old car with somewhere around 300,000 miles on it... and still doing exactly what it's supposed to just seems awesome to me. It just seems like the most loyal, obediant, and willing vehicle around. So, considering it's being described as a dog, i guess you could say it's my pet... haha

On a serious, less-rambling note; i have a question for the brains here on brickboard. I got a speedo cable, and my speedometer works, but the odometer and tripodometer don't do anything... so presumably something in my gauge cluster itself is messed up. What should i look for? i know the junkyard here has a 544 sitting around, would that have the proper speedo parts i needed? any insight as to why the odometer doesn't work would be appriciated.

Thanks for reading, Gunch


oh, and just as a bonus here's a picture...
