Road trip!

I had to pick up a motor for the mustang and the 94 F250 made the trip to Toledo Ohio. I think on the way out was about 4-5 hrs and went a different way on the way home was about 5 hrs and some change. The 94 made the trip with no probs, all in one day lol. The 351 made it all the way there and was between a 1/2 and 3/4 of a tank full on the front tank. Not to bad for running 315's I thought. This got me thinking that I really need to get my speedo corrected, as I didn't check the mileage b/c of it being off by almost 5mph. Anybody know how to fix the speedo on these?

Here's a pic I snapped at a rest area on the way out.

I hope it worked as well for you as it did for me. Even using the GPS for comparo, I'm within a mile or two even up past 75 mph. Hey, important part is that one of us thought of it, right?

I don't post a lot, but I've gotten so much good help from this site that I'm happy any time I can pay back a little.
