So there is no speedo gear that is easily changed or something like that?
I would bet your odometer is still very accurate, years ago automakers got in trouble for that as warranties would expire sooner and gas mileage would look higher. If you really want to find out if something can be done, try contacting North Hollywood Speedometer or Palo Alto Speedometer. If something can be done, I'm sure it won't be cheap!
