speedo correction

I can't believe I've never seen this addressed, I'm surely not the first with this problem. I have a 67CS. The 400/2-speed has been replaced with what I believe is 79 350/3-speed. The speedo error is significant. Will changing the driven gear in the trans solve the problem? The gear housing is marked with 36,37,38 and 39.

spedo correction

Yeah that's what got me going. I spent about an hour on the speedo sites and other sites trying to identify what I have. I just thought it would be common enough that someone would have solved the same problem as mine. I have the engine and trans in the garage, but my car is in a shop for body work so I can't do the math to see what gear I need.

I needed a speedo correction when I discovered I was wearing it backwards.
