Having issues with my speedometer. The car is a 71 Formula 455 and a new speedo from classic industries. I am running a T56 with a Cable X box to drive the factory speedometer. I have the box set to the proper settings for my tone ring. I took the car for a test drive to compare it to gps. The odometer is just about dead on. The issue comes from the speedometer part. When I'm hitting about 35-37mph as indicated by gps; the speedo reads about 20mph. I'm thinking there's an issue with the speedo, but I am not sure considering the odometer reads correctly. Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

If the odometer is spot on, how can the speedometer be off?

Which T56 do you have and what reductor wheel setting are you using?

Running an lt1 t56 with all the viper upgrades. Tone ring is the viper 10 tooth. The cable x box is set right as the odometer is reading right.
