The older cars have more room underneath, so I guess BW just mounted the speedo take-off high to keep the cable up under the car. When the body was lowered a bit over the trans for the 63 Classic/Ambo and 64 American, it would be difficult to get to the speedo cable without dropping the trans. It's only 2-3" difference, but that's enough in tight quarters! I'd have thought the gears would have been cut to turn the speedo in the same direction, but they turn opposite. I guess it was easier just to specify the opposite rotation when ordering the new speedo clusters.
