Dave how is this going to work????

There is a number in the speedo face. 960, 1250, 1325.  This is the 
number of revs per mile. If you measure out 52.8 feet and count the 
revs of the cable you will get a count of 9.5 , 12.5, 13.25. This will 
give the revs per mile. They can the set the speedo acordingly.
