Also, as a reminder to those with this problem, a GPS can come in handy as well. I remember seeing this chart long before they were readily available to the public

Both my D's have 170 MPH speedometers (from D-ONE years ago) but IIRC when the speedo is stock the needle is roughly parallel to the tach needle on a five speed in top gear ... don't know if that's true on automatics.

Just FYI, Hervey has a cable that basically eliminates the lambda counter. You don't have to worry about two cables anymore; it's all one piece that goes from the speedometer to the angle drive. Gives you plenty of extra cable to work with too, so it's not a "stretch" just to install it. Cuts down on the wear on the angle drive and gives one a simple peace of mind as well as eliminating one more thing to "check" when something goes wrong.
It does take removal of the binnacle to properly install (I have heard you can actually install this cable without removal of the binnacle.), but I can vouch - it is WELL worth it.

Actual snippet of a conversation from Sept 2013:
Me: Eddie, I can't wait to get the car back when you're done with it.
Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....
