If you have an IRS, you can mount a chopper wheel on the CV and run an electronic speedometer

IRS is independent rear suspension. It replaced the swingaxle rear suspension in 1969. If your transaxle is 1969 or later its IRS.

I think this would actually be easier than a chopper wheel and probably just as cheap and accurate
