IML: '55 speedometer

[Norm <nsdec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This weekend I ran my first vintage car rally/race.  Unfortuately I
forgot my camera but a lot of the cars also run the Great Race and you
can see them at http://www.greatrace.com   My '68 Olds 88 ran flawlessly
but I'd like to get my '55 Imperial ready for the fall - it'd definitely
be one of the most attractive cars there amid 40s Fords and such.

One problem I have to solve is the speedometer (odometers are not used
on these events).  It has two problems, one being wildly optimistic
(about 20 MPH too high) and the other a huge amount of needle wiggle. 
Both of these make it unuseable as is and I figure I need, at minimum,
to replace the speedo unit, odo cable, and (I hope not) the speedo gear
in the transmission.  Does anyone have any observations on the problem
and/or any help for these parts.  adTHANKSvance, Norm
