It might be easier to install a set of gears in line with the speedo cable to
get it accurate. Otherwise you'll just be guessing, especially if you run
tires that are lower profile (virtually any radial) than original.
A fellow down in Oregon (Peter Parslow) did this with his Series V OD and is
very happy with it.

Does anyone know what should be the tooth count of the gear in the tranny?
I guess it depends on the number on the speedo face which I understand
indicates the number of cable turns per mile. On my Jaeger speedo, at the
bottem of the speedo dial, at about 5 oclock, there is a tiny number: 1020.
Does the differential ratio matter?
