There has been an interesting thread started by Brad Parlee (Re: Spinning at 70mph) concerning calibration of tach and speedo readings after changing tire size and rear end gears. Different readers h

Thanks, Dick, for the experience. I had my Speedo tested in the same manner. Found out it was in error more than the 185/60 R13's should have accomplished. I felt pretty silly doing 78 mph on the fre

Actually these gears aren't very expensive and the nice thing is that there are lots of old Fords around, so parts like this are easy to come by. Check your local vintage Mustang parts supplier. Tha
