If you look on the end it will have numbers stamped in it. For example: 1.08, that means the speedo cable is 8% Overdriven
Another example, .998 that means the speedo cable is under driven Compared to the output shaft of the trans.

I found it...right where I put it!! Well was in a pan in the top of my box.

These are the only numbers I saw on mine so it it 30% over driven? That sounds right, remember I said it was reading 45 mph when I was really going about 60mph. Well the math on 30% over at 45 mph works out to 58.5mph so pretty darn close for GPS speed and a 40 year old speedometer.

Also I remembered what was wrong with mine. The shaft was rung off of it...see the pic.

Oh and if you have any of these laying around I would be interested in them, Matt!! Thanks.

Did you get a chance to check your stockpile?

I'm in no rush. Buts it's on my mind and if I don't say something I am like to forget for some long while.

I looked, I don’t have anything close to that ratio. I have a couple that are slightly over and underdriven. Maybe a speedometer shop can help

I will use the link someone posted here and try to find that site I had found before ( may even be the same one).

I will get one now that I know they positively exist still. But if you had one I was gonna toss a few bucks your way and say a big thanks for helping a fellow owner out. Thanks for looking.

I had actually forgotten I posted that a few days ago and decided I better go look too see if you had responded. I just thought about it again.
