Cable Breaks
The speedometer cable usually lasts forever. There are two common reasons why it will break:
- Mechanical kink or breakage, for example if you drive over a tree branch and it pulls the cable
- Bad or missing engine ground wire.
Additional reasons * Lack of grease * Break in cable allows water which freezes in winter
I think you'll find this is caused by poor/dirty ground strap from the engine to the body inside the engine bay.It only takes once, and the cable it screwed, as it melts the nice polyethylene coating on the inside.
See how the cable's protective plastic appear worn..I'd say it melted during starter crank. Then when the cable gets some speed up, the plastic grabs and the cable snaps.
Swap Cables
The last of the Datsuns featured a clip-on cable instead of screw-on to the speedometer head. So they will not interchanged with 1200 speedometer.
910 1980- 810/Bluebird A10 Stanza/510 B310 Sunny/210
Comparison:
The 810 cable (1977-1979 810/200B) is of the same type as a 1200 but longer (about 1950mm).
For 63-series transmission a longer cable is required.
