Half of these people do not understand the question. The drive gear and the driven gear in the tranny are correct for the rear axle, as are the gears in the dash speedometer and the cable is fine. He just wants the inner face (MPH) swapped with the outer (KPH) face on the dash. Hence the decal over-lay that would reverse their appearance.

I think the speedometer will still be reading in both, K & M. Just the numbers on the face will be reversed. I really doubt the gearing for the Canadian speedo has different part numbers and ratios, but maybe.

So, the EASY fix is to just buy a replacement dash from a 1980 or 1981 US Corvette from eBay and swap the parts. That way you preserve the original part, and don't have to mess around with a sticker.
It may not be the CHEAPEST fix, but it won't be much. Check on this forum first, or post a WTB.
