EASY TO TEST SPEEDO
PUT A VARIABLE SPEED HAND DRILL ON THE END OF THE SPEEDO CABLE [TRANSMISSION END]. RUN THE DRILL BACKWARDS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND HAVE SOMEONE TELL YOU HOW THE SEEDO RESPONDS. WITH FAST SPEED, A GOOD SPEEDO OUGHT TO GO WAY ABOVE 40. GOOD LUCK; SOUND LIKE THE SPEEDO.

The speedometer on my 56 was bouncing all over the place. I installed a new cable. Cured the bouncing but now the speedometer won't read over 25MPH. I pulled it out, along with a non-functioning temp gauge and sent them to North Hollywood Speedometer and Clock for repair. Waiting for them to call with an estimate.

Re: 64 speedometer (Vandoren)
Propably the magnets inside the speedo have been weakened over the decades. This affects the needle movement - the magnets just won´t be able to create enough magnetic field to move the needle mechanism. You need to replace these parts. Please consult your local speedo shop for further info.
Hope this helps.
