speedo has to be calibrated via the computer. you'll need a speed shop or to purchase a hypertech 32000 handheld to change it. There are several different gear ratios that could be in your vehicle you will have to find out what's in it in order to have it calibrated properly.

As for the blinker question i have no idea.

If you look on the rear there's usually a tag on one of the bolts holding the cover on. If it's not there you can jack up the rear and put it on jackstands. Take the cover off, and count the teeth on the ring gear vs pinion. There's a formula to figure out the ratio that way if you google.
