Has the rear end been changed? If it has an auto trans, a standard trans rear end may have been put in or vice-versa. Or, trans may have been changed from standard to automatic, or vice-versa. Cars with an overdrive trans used yet another rear end ratio, too. The factory had the correct speedo gear for each combination, trick now is finding them.
