An option is to have your original CL77 speedometer rebuilt by a professional shop. I was in a similar situation and I wasn't sure I could fix the CL77 speedo myself. I sent the instrument to Seattle Speedometer; they did a great job, even making small and delicate parts when pieces were broken and/...

You’ll see CL77 pipes of various condition and configurations on eBay. By 1967, all new CL77s were issued with the “guppy” muffler. Later 1967 CL77 production mufflers were welded to the pipe(s); earlier in the 1967 production year (and also 1965-1966) the mufflers were still bolted on. You’ll be lo...
