Fred, at risk of stating the obvious, a GT6 speedo would work just fine. 
Ideally, you'd want one from a '73 GT6, so that the face would match that of 
your other gauges. Otherwise, any GT6 speedo would work.


Of course, if the GT6 diff. happens to be a 3.89:1 (from an OD-equipped GT), 
then there should be no need to change the speedo at all. ;-)
