the car doesn't tell the speedometer it is a mechanical speedometer so the gears in it are made for the 130 or 85mph so as long as the gears aren't messed up it should read correctly no matter what...

the gears are in the cluster/ or speedo it's self so as long as the gear is the trans it al right it should be hook up + go.. have u made sure the speedo isn't workin.. if you have cruse control unhook the larger cable (the one that runs to the cluster) and hook it up to a drill if it read then ur problem is from there down.. ether the lower speedo cable or the trans gear..
