Speedo Calculation
have a 66 slick, swb, 2wd with a 71 torino 302 and mid 70's four speed xmsn.
the speedo is off quite a bit and one way to maybe get to his cause its a heinz 57 variety is to find some of the xmsn end plastic gear part that slips over the end of the speedo cable and with trial and error, get it close to right.
any thoughts, suggestions on this approach and where I could chase down some of those gears would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks to one and all,
be safe

I unblocked that email thing...
My Huey at Ft Polk was a 69 model, don't remember the one in Honduras as I was a crew trainer and flew on everyone's heli.
What is a 'nighthawk'
you can answer that in email, cus I know this is off topic here.
BTW. I know if you put the gear ratio's (tranny and final)if you know what they are, someone here has all those answers

Have you checked it against another newer vehicle or a beside of the road speed reader, to get an idea on how far it is off?
