Paul, I have done this conversion many times. There is no difference in the
speedometer! The one that is already is the correct one. To show the
point, if you are in fourth gear your tach and speedo will match on both a 4
speed and overdrive tranny. If you have changed yours, than I am afraid it
is now wrong.

Yes...it's a straight bolt in. I just did mine last weekend.
You need to also grab the tranny rear mount plate that bolts to the chassis,
the speedo cable is different as is the speedometer (1280 revs per mile vs
1000 per mile)
and don't forget the wiring .
