Since the rear end turns faster with the smaller gear (numerically higher) your speedometer also turns faster.... This then leads to your odometer racking up more miles quicker.
The speedometer gears are only a couple of bucks and can be found from www.50resto.com
When you place the proper speedo gear on the end of the cable, it will adjust both the speedometer AND the odometer -- both are driven off the speedo cable.

click on the link in previous thread i left and check out the speedo section the only speedo gear available will read 5 percent slow. at 70 m.p.h. your really at 66.5 m.p.h. but this also depends on tire size.
