is it normal for the spedo needle to bounce up and down a tiny bit when speeding up or slowing down and have it stay still when at a constent speed with our cars? its been so long since my spedo worked i cant remember

No, mine doesn't but I know that is a problem for some people who repair their speedo's.

Mine did before I replaced the speedo cable. I pulled the inner cable (from the transmission end) a couple of times to lube it because it was squeaky when cold, but I got sick of messing with it and just replaced the whole cable.

Mine did before and after replacing the speedo cable. Replacing the cable did improve it a little though.

pretty normal for old cars. you could grease the speedo cable if you wanted, but it really doesnt hurt you. mine does it especially if its cold.
