As best I can tell, this is the adjustment screw for the speedometer. But without the right equipment, I decided to put off trying to do something myself. I will live with having to subtract 5 mph from the indicated speed.

Reassembly: mount the speedo drive on the rest of the assembly, including the odometer drive shaft.

And then crimping the retaining ring flange. Again, I went a little at a time, round and round.

Before installation, I needed to deal with there length of the speedo cable. Right now, it only barely reaches the gauge when installed.

Speedometer installed. It sure looks clean. The tach does not look as bad as the photo shows, but I already feel the need to take the glass off and clean it.

And everything put back together underneath. I did look at the brake pedal arm to see about trying to move the pedal a bit to the left, but that will have to wait for another time.
