To install the speedometer cable on a 1971 VW Super Beetle, first, remove the speedometer from the dashboard by unscrewing the retaining nuts. Next, insert one end of the speedometer cable into the speedometer and secure it in place. Then, route the other end of the cable through the tunnel and connect it to the speedometer drive on the transaxle. Finally, reattach the speedometer to the dashboard and ensure the cable is properly secured and free of any obstructions.
i own a 1973 super beetle and when i bought it i had the same problem. we fixed it by replacing the speedometer cable on it. the cable runs from the front, driver-side tire and goes in to the back of the gauge it gets a little tough unless you have tiny hands but that fixed it for me.

If you look at the front suspension of any beetle you can tell if it is a super or non-super beetle. If there is a McPherson front suspension then it is a super beetle. If there is a torsion bar front suspension then it is a non-super beetle.
If it is like the 72 beetle, Have someone hold the the carb throttle open to give you some slack in the cable, then hook it in from the passenger side. If you hook in from the driver side it will come up done trust me
The super beetle was not put into production until 1971, there is no such vehicle as a 1964 super beetle.
