   I had replaced the speedo cable twice.  Both times, it would last about 8   
   months and then start acting erratically.  Then just stop working.  It started   
   after the 350 transmission swap.     
      
   I don't know why any car would be made without stainless steal brake lines.   
   Anything other than that will rust and snap eventually, especially in areas   
   that use salt on the roads in the winter.  I thought the same thing about   
   mufflers.  At least GM started making stainless steel mufflers.  I still have   
   my original muffler on my 2k2 MC.  It looks fine, too.  I would have gone   
   through at least 3 of the old type by now.
