I?m guessing the 50 and 56 are interchangeable. This would be way beyond my mechanical and tool capabilities so I?m looking for information on how long it could take a seasoned mechanic to complete so I can estimate labor costs. Also, who sells the most complete kit, would like to avoid tracking down individual miscellaneous parts if possible.

Anyone have any direct experience with this swap, or at least maybe a definitive answer?

Is it accurate while you are driving? If it's reading 20 MPH when you are standing still, it's likely not the cable. If it's reading high while you are driving, you may have to reset the needle. If not, you may have dirt in the speedometer - try a little compressed air, but not from your compressor, use one of those cans of air for cleaning computers. On the subject of speedometers, does anyone know where I can get a speedometer gear for a Muncie 420 transmission? Unlike the ones that are readily available, the bullet threads into the transmission housing, that is, there are 2 sets of threads on the bullet itself and it is narrower than the more commonly available one.
