Scott,
My speedo also has the 1280 at the 5 o'clock position. I believe this is
the revolutions per x distance (I'm not sure what the distance is) of the
speedo shaft. Since my engine number is correct for the year and it
indicates non OD I would bet that I have the correct engine and trany. Are
they the original as the car came from the factory? I don't know. I expect
they are. I also expect that I have the correct speedo too, this is loosly
based on the fact that I don't appear to be going either too fast or too
slow ( as indicated by the speedo)when driving on the highway. Maybe
someone on the list has more info on the speedo issue....
Safety Fast !!!
