I ordered areplacement and I think they gave me one from a 63. Anywho the new one reads 10m.p.h. slower than the original. Why is this??? Ihave access to another one from a 62 from a guy not far from me, but it is in a big truck and im afraid ill just have the same problem. Any thoughts on this would be helpful.

You might consider this thread. It talks about how to figure out the proper gear and geat change-out. I'm betting you need to swap out gears to get the accuracy you're looking for.

Get the odometer right by changeing the gears in the trans. or with a ratio adapter. Then if the speed does not seem correct the problem is in the head.

I guess ill just have to live with it. Thanks for the help guys.
