Here's a question for all.

Can you bypass the O2 counter box and just install a 1990 speedo cable that
runs all the way to the instrument cluster?

Thomas, I and I am sure others have done the same thing.  In my experience,
the easiest way to fix this problem is to get both a new upper speedometer
cable as well as a new lower speedometer cable.  Another worthwhile
investment is a new instrument cluster and then you should have everything
working.
