I remember 70 = about 3800 or so.
The diameter of the tires won't affect the speed indicated but it will
effect your "actual" speed.

Subject: Re: Twice as much
> I have wondered this same thing. My first roadster in High School was a 68
1600. It had a lot of modifications to it. I was too young and stupid to
realize what a nice car I had. My RPM's were always 1/2 my speed in 4th
gear. 50 mph 2500 rpm, 80 mph 4000 rpm, 110 mph 5500 rpm. I am now thinking,
maybe I had a B cam in my 1600. Is that possible. I always got my butt
kicked off the line, but on the freeway BMW's couldnt keep up.
