It used to not be so easy, and there was some homework involved when I went through this exercise. I had a full set of driven gears and would drive by speed trailers to zero in. I just recently gave away all those gears.
Like I mentioned, now all I have to do is hit a few dip switches and wah-lah, it's done. On the CompuShift controller for the 4L80E, you just tell it what tire size etc, and it makes the appropriate adjustments, don't even have to hit the dip switches.
Most of the speedo companies now make VSS bullets for popular transmissions, so if you ever need an OE speedo refurbed, have it converted, saves tons of trouble. New tire size? No problem. New rear gears? No problem.
I will probably look at the pics when I get home, curious now...
EDIT: Oh yeah, one big advantage of going to an electric speedo is, no more speedo cable. If you ever go to a E trans, the speedo cable hole/grommet is the same size used for the trans harness, so no drilling holes in your classic either.
