generally where my normal speeds are, but anything over 55 pegs the needle.
Imagine that, a Vanagon running out of speedo :)

I would assume if you are pegging the needle above 55 MPH, it needs to be
repaired or replaced, not calibrated.  I would pull it and bring it into a
local speedometer shop for an estimate - if it's too much to repair and
calibrate, then replace it.
