How do you install the speedometer cables lower and upper on a 1982 corvette?

You must have cruise control. The lower cable comes up from the transmission and fastens to the transducer. A shorter cable goes from there, through the firewall, and into the car. It slides on to the back of the speedo head and clips into place. The connections outside the car are pretty straightforward, there are nuts that you unscrew. Behind the dash is abit tricky if you have big hands. There is a locking device that you have to push with a finger while you grasp and pull the cable with the other hand. Match the new cables to the old ones before you install them. On the new cables pull out the inner drive cable and check that it has some light grease on it. Some come lubed, some don't. Also, put a little oil into the "bell" end of the short cable. This is the end that goes on to the speedo head. If you are successful at this go get yourself a steak dinner.

Your speedometer for your 1978 corvette is not working-do you have to replace both the upper and lower cables?
First I would remove the lower one, it's the easiest. Once out, reach inside one end and pull the inner rod out as far as possible. then attach a drill on the other end and turn it on. If both ends turn at the same speed then it's probably ok. If you can hold the end opposite the drill without it turning then it's broken. Use the same method on the upper cable.
