This sounds suspiciously like someone has changed either the speedo
head, or the rear end ratio. If so, the odometer and trip meter will
also read low. Check out Tony Rhode's article at

Try taking the advance to your local "Auto Electric" shop and see if
they can get it rebuilt. I got my "NLS" unit rebuilt several years ago,
it works fine.
