I dunno about the older Fords but they changed mine on my old truck by cahnging the gear in the tranny. The new ones can be changed on the computer I thought.

chip or a speed cal unit or a gear in the tranny


the gear in the tranny is the cheapest (like $15) and takes about 1 minute to do

Even if you use a 23 tooth speedo gear, you are still going to be off a few MPH. The best way to do it is with a Speed Cal on the 96 and newer cars.
