Re: resetting odometer...

I rearragned the numbers to match the original odometer from my caprice right down to the tenth of a mile. It'd be even easier to go back to zero, but I wanted accuracy. I changed this the same time I changed the motor, so I can always look back to the original speedo to see what the mileage was at the time of the engine swap.
So basically just start taking it apart and be careful huh? No special tools required? I'll probably videotape the whole process so I can make sure I can get it back together if it's as complicated as I anticipate.
