Finally got around to replacing my gear indicator on my '73 k5. (not exactly a lift kit or new tranny but it needed fixing:D) I got one of those replacement pieces from LMC but I have a feeling something else was missing. The cable that connects the column to the indicator needle seems way too long. When I adjust it shorter and put the shifter through the gears it just wants to crank down and not across the indicator. It occured to me yesterday that there might be a pin missing that the cable passes over before dropping down to the column. Can anyone verify? Am I connecting wrong? I never got a chance to see what it looked like from the factory only what the previous owner had butchered in an earlier attempt to fix:surepal:
 
On the gauge cluster their is a pivit point taht the cable need to go to... But most of them have broken... I screwed a screw at the area that broke off and then ran it around the screw
