We are in the AU forum AU falcons dont have speedo cables. Its all electric.
There is still a speedo drive gear and a speedo transducer though. Ford sell the gears tell me waht colour or no of teeth on your gear, how much faster or slower you want the speedo to read and you get the gear to suit. |

Speedo drive gears.
Here is a table of the speedo drive gears available and the change in speedo reading they make when changing from one to the other. The gears are plastic cost less than $10 and take all of 5 minutes to fit. So correcting the speedo is quick and easy if you change your gearing by an amount hey can adjust for.
