84 T/A Speedometer Quit

Go figure,

I finally figure out all my check engine codes, get the brake light to go out, set the shift points where I want them...and what happens? I'm go to the gas station, get gas and when I start my car and drive off? Yeah, the speedometer isn't reading anything. Worked fine on the way to the station. I got no speedo readin, the odometer isn't moving...nothing. Anyone have any suggestions on where to start?

Ok, I'll read it and see. Winter here now, 4 inches of snow on the ground, going to make it hard for me to be motivated to get under the car. lol

Turns out my headers melted the cable housing which caused it to weaken and break. picked up a new housing and cable and got it installed last night/today. DAMN it's cold out here. Got down to 18 last night. I can't wait to get a place with a garage again.
