the older MGs had different speedos for OD and nonOD model cars. Same on
late model though, lucky you!

I have a 1977 MGB roadster which I purchased without an overdrive. I
got tired of the scream as it travelled the superhighways at
keep-up-with-the-others speeds. (Why would I travel the highways as
opposed to the byeways? The back roads of Vermont are far more
enjoyable but when you leave central Massachusetts on a Saturday
morning to go to some nice little restaurant in Canada for lunch you must
make time.) I lucked out and got an overdrive&tranny for $325. Installed
it and it worked fine. Speedometer is right on. My question is: Why do I
see references to changing speedometers when switching to overdrive
unit? If you fit an overdrive unit of the same vintage as the vehicle
shouldn't the speedometer be OK? Was I just lucky? Inquiring minds
want to know!
