Default Resetting Odometer - 1967 Mustang

Got a new/used speedometer for my 1967 mustang. Does anyone know how to reset to 0000000? I can't seem to figure this thing out. Appreciate any help.

ok, let me answer your question with another question. HOW DOES THE ODOMETER READ THE MILES? it reads the miles by the speedometer cable which turns the speedo head. the odometer runs off the speedo cable too. So if it reads going up spinning one way, then it'll read backwards spinning the other way. I know it works, but i dont know if it doesn't break anything spinning it backwards alot. You can try, but you probably have alot of spinning to do.

I dont know if spinning the speedo cable backwards works on all cars. We tried it on my friends 87 Ranger and it didnt work

i know its works on my 62 impala, and 66-67 Ford cars and trucks. I just dont know what'll do if spun along time. It might mess up the speedo.
