I jus tgot an 89 speedo and its 10mph off. When you are not moving the needle sits at 10mph. Is there any way to adjust this? Thanks for the help.

Take it off, and push it back on in the right spot.

WTF are you talking about it freely spins? pull the needle off and restick it...... you are still going to be slightly off, but not as bad.

Yeah dude, take it off and reset it. If it freely spins you have another problem.

If you tried it and it didn't work, then something's broken. Anyone who has installed a white face kit knows this, and that DOES include me, as well as most of our active members.
