Tach drive gear

I recently had the tach cable seize. This resulted in the distributor drive 
gear eating the tach drive gear. As there seems to be no availability 
domestically for the gear. 
 I bought a used 22D to obtain  the part. While I was at it I took the tach 
into a local speedo shop for service. Now that I have it back together my tach 
reads 1000 rpms too low. The speedo shop calibrated the tach to 355to1 as 
indicated on the tach face. Is there the remote possibility that there is more 
than one gear ratio for the tach drive? I installed a new tach cable and lubed 
it 
generously and checked routing to eliminate the cable as a possible culprit. 
TIA
