Corvette Instrument Service can fix it for a reasonable price. They are in Florida. They changed my 85mph to 140mph total cost including shipping $88.00. They also have a web page check it out.

the tip meter works like this.to reset to 0000 push up on the rubber **** and twist.this will start to align the numbers when you let go it is spring loaded ,it will disengage,, you have to push up again and twist again until the numbers lign up to 0000...now if its very hard to turn i make a tool that will go on the shaft adding leverage to the cable breaking loose surface rust that gets on these cables used from 1963 to 1977 corvettes.. the tool is 29.99 and 5.00 shippng anywhere in the us.. e mail me at carlclub@comcast.net if interested
