you of course pulled out the odo shaft and recalculated the lost miles since you have been driving the car right?

Could be? There is a sticker on the back of the speedo assembly from a place in Gainesville, FL saying that it was rebuilt or repaired at some time in the past. Maybe they put the wrong gear on there when they put it back together?
I did not take the time to take it apart and match the mileage (yet). I will do that at another day. I made a note of what they both read so I can make the adjustment at a later date. The car obviously has more miles on it than what is indicated. The wrong gear made the ODO 20% slow with the 205's and it was (is) 17% slow with the 195's. At least now it is ticking off the distance properly.
The speedo and the ODO must be independent of each other since the speedo was on the money in both of them.
