Regarding calibration, I would be changing the plastic speedo cable drive in the trans tail housing . Charts in service manual.
I'm pretty sure there is no user friendly ways of calibrating the speedo itself.

Like rd92west said, the way to bring back the speedometer to reading "true" is through the speedo drive gear.
Since yours is reading wrong, I presume you changed something...either tires or diff ratio as these are what will affect how the speedo reads.

For the Speedo gear, if you don’t have a service manual call Brewers and explain your setup for tires and gear ratio and they will match the correct speedo gear. The repop gears are nice and include the correct clip.

You need to lower the steering colum a little.
Remove the bezel that covers the heater controls and radio. The heater knobs have little allen head screws up from the bottom. If you have a clock you need a small flat screw driver to unscrew the nut that holds the knob on.
Remove screws that hold the bezel on left side housing the ammeter, heat and fuel gauges. I think you can pull this away far enough to get speedometer out
Disconnect the speedo cable.
Carefully unplug the wiring connector that goes on the 4 long pins.
Unplug the turn signal bulb sockets
2 screws under the face of the speedo and 2 up under the top
The speedo in picture is a 66. The 65 is pretty much the same. Few minor differences
I likley forgot something

A tiny bit of grease on the pins for reassembly. Not dielectric grease
