Doug,
I had real problems with my GMC van (shifting and such) along with a noisy
speedo. So I lubed everything with teflon bearing oil and it got worse.
After reading the manual I greased the cable with the proper weight grease
and all the needle bounce (and bad shifting...) went away.
It may be that your cable is "low" on grease and the damping effect it has
is gone.
Of course this is just a WAG

Mine is an "original" '69 with the yellow line at 5000 RPM, and I'm
uncomfortable taking it over 4500. Since the speedometer bounces, I think
the closest I can guess it is 65.
BTW, what could be up with the speedo? I put a drill on the tranny end of
the cable, and it still bounces, so I know it's not in the tranny.
