Colin,

In a rush, so I'll be breif.

Your speedo has both metric and "english" speed measures.  I am running a 2:88
with Michelin 185x70x13's.  It runs about 72 mph at 3,000 rpm.  That's 24
mph/1,000 rpm.  60 mph is about 100 km/hr, so 24 / 0.6 = 40 kph/1,000 rpm.  Old
speedos loose magnetism, and need to have the "cup" re-magnetized, unless your
gears are off (internal or external).  The stock speedo should have "980"
printed on the face for a stock unit.  That is 980 turns/mile.  Measure and mark
52.8 feet, remove the cable from the speedo.  Put a piece of tape on the cable
core.  Push, or drive slowly, between the marks many times.  You should average
10 turns. A freind outsisde the car would be helpful.  Any difference is your
error to be corrected.

Steve
