   Curious - if you drive a mile, does the odometer show a mile?

   All,
   My speedometer reads around 42 when the car s going 55. The tires are
   the
   proper diameter and the Transaxle is the original. It had been
   refurbished
   as needed during the restoration but no indication the speedo drive had
   been
   touched.
   The needle is dead steady (it did need a cable replacement post
   restoration).
   So now I need to confirm it has the correct speedo drive before I go
   further. Is there a method to detect externally if the drive is US or
   European? Most particularly is there a way to tie the drive to the ZF
   by
   some identifier? Or do I need to remove the drive and count teeth or
   something like that?
   If the drive seems correct, The last component is the Speedometer. Can
   these
   Speedometers be re-calibrated?
   Thanks,
