Those older speedo's are cable driven. Either it's disconnected somewhere, or like the Mk3 Supra's it probably likes to break at a particular place.

My cable broke about 2 months before I parked the car. It was a nuisance.

My speedo did the same thing. It was bad i almost got a ticket going 35 in a school zone MPH that is.

Get a friend to pace you at 40mph, and such. Make a post it note of of speeds that equal gears and RPM's. Put this over your speedo til you get it fixed.
