Anyone out there knows of a good shop to get my 67 speedo calibrated in the Houston, TX area. Appreciate any feed back.

James,

That's what my wife said too. What I got is an original speedo with no tack that needs to be calibrated to the rearend and the tires. It also jumps and cllicks at low speeds around 10-20 mph.

Make sure the cable is well lubricated and has smooth curve transitions. If not, the cable will bind and make the needle jump.

You can bench test with a drill motor to find out if it is a cable or head unit problem.

I don't have a GPS. I just had my wife drive next to me while we were on cell phones.
