Those arecolor coded as well, but I do not know what gear color for what speedo. I know a Rallye could use the W-990 and 2 others. Being you have an auto, I'm not sure if any I have would be the same.In all of that mumbling, I hope you got that with the different speedo, you may be off on your mileage engine size and transmission
. . . remember, too, that the A/T Kadetts came with a 3.18 gear, which affects the speedo "W" calibration required . . . my '69 LS A/T uses a "1062", FWIW. It is "dead on" at 60 and 85MPH according to my GPS!
