69 TA speedometer and alternator probs

Hows it going? I need some help by anyone thats willing ... first off i'll explain that i got my bird from my uncle that past away and left the car to me last year its a 1969 TA with a 400 4 barrel n e ways when i got the car the battery kept dying and i'm guessing its the alternator so i went to check connections and its running off the belt but the wire isn't connected to it. and later when i finally found the wire it was hanging down just dangling and the end clip is broke so i was wondering where i could get another one of those. its the one that hooks into the alternator.

next

the speedometer dont work dont know why all i know is that it hasnt since i got the car ... help with those 2 things and i think thats all i need

I would try to solder them back together if I where you because you might have to buy the complete cable to get that hook. Also is your odometer working?

i dont have an odometer its an auto
other than that i dont know what would be wrong with the speedometer.... is it hard to put in a new one?

Every car has a odometer, Your thinking of a RPM gauge. A odometer is the gauge that tells you how many miles you have on the car and the reason I ask is because I want to know if the needle on the speedo is broken or you have a twisted or broken speedo cable or worn gear.

hey, yeah shows how much i'm paying attention haha ... ne way i think the odometer works so what do you think now about the speedo?

I think its a broken speedo needle itself or the cable came out from the back of the speedo.

yeah that could be it but it the wire is still plugged into the speedo then how hard would it be to get a new one and install it

Its not that big of a deal that cable's runs from inside your engine compartment to back there
