Mike I will dig out my original parts manual and let you know!If you can figure out the gauge # and post it, that would help. I have a couple of SV speedos but don't know if they came from OD cars or not.
The key to identifying a gauge as OD or standard is the transmission revolutions per mile number, which is on the bottom of the face, right after the model number. A standard SV speedo will have a 1020, while an OD gauge will have 1504. Mike Hartman has a very helpful table on his website that provides more details and photos. http://wp.mhartman.net/home/cars/sunbeam/alpine/gaugesIf you can figure out the gauge # and post it, that would help.

Mike the parts manual lists one OD speedo for the seriesV SN 5324/53 mph speedo. Section W plate F page W1 publication 6600992 5th issue!If you can figure out the gauge # and post it, that would help. I have a couple of SV speedos but don't know if they came from OD cars or not.
Thanks for the help! I pulled out my original parts manual that I got when Chrysler stopped selling Rootes cars!

Yes typo sorryGordon,
5324/53 is the KmPH speedo. I assume you want the SN5324/52 MPH speedo, which is what I have in my SV.

On the upside ( sort of) is usa spec SV having the 4.22 in non OD spec.Gordon, But note that the specified speedo assumes you have the 4.21 rear axle as was stock for the SV.

You could get any OD speedo bar s3..... And just add the Sv face to it.
What is the difference between the Std speedo and the OD speedo. The OD output shaft rpm is the same so MPH shouldn't change.

I installed an od trans in my 67 . check your odometer reading with gps and note the difference. I found a speedo replair shop in Milwaukee that calibrated a small gear reduction box and modified a new cable to fit. this reduction box using my figures put my speed dead on. not a big deal, just replace the cable with the new upper and lower cable and install the gear reducing between them. very easy and inexpensive fix.I am looking for an overdrive speedometer for a series V Alpine!
