Jaycar have an electronic speedo corrector for about $60 in kit form. Worked well on my old Rodeo. I had a switch to go from standard to the corrected setting.

those speedo correction units like marks adapters are for electronic speedos. early 80s are cable driven, so make sure yours is an electric one before buying!
