Im just curious to roll the odometer to 0 couldnt you use a drill in reverse and it would be like you are driving and it would spin the needle and everything and just watch the odometer till it gets to zero :hmm:

I don't see why it wouldn't I think on pre 70's you could just plug them straight in. I know on my 70 I had to splice all the wires into the harness.
