Yes, I have 175s. --- Wow, so it IS 60mph.. Gee, it doesn't FEEL that
fast...-Of course, it makes a lot less noise, handles better, and doesn't
shake anymore since the restoration..... --So I guess my speedo IS about
right. ....and I DO have a lead foot !
....Being "arrest me red" over black, I guess I'd better pay attention to the
speedo, and tone it down a bit.....
Anyone got any "pull" with the RI state police?

David,
Since we have EXACTLY the same configuration (assuming you have 175s - you
didn't say), I have computed my road speed at 3000 in 4th gear to be 59
mph.
My calcs cover everything except centrifugal tire expansion, which probably
doesn't count for much at that rather low speed.
If you have 165s, speed will be a bit less, if 185s a bit more.
