Larry,
That would be one solution due to the non-linear markings. I could figure out what speed to label where on the dial, then print a new dial to stick over the OEM dial. I'd likely make a big mess of it though.

Tom,
There are (used to be) different gears available, but alas, no longer available. I don't think it would fix it because the faster the speed, the more the speedo is out.

John,
There is a speedo place about 2 miles from me. I stopped in there and the 30 something guy looked at me like I had two heads. He knew nothing about gears or reducers. They only work on stuff later than 2000 and mostly on used pickups being exported to the USA... changing them from kms to MPH. I thought that was kinda strange since every vehicle I've had since the early 2000's was electronic and KMs or Miles was a menu selection. The lot was always full of late model GM and Ford pickups with no plates on them.
