<VV> Speedo Question

[Michael Kovacs]

Bill, 

Do you have a GPS? Mine can tell me my exact speed. What I did was just to 
mentally recalibrate the speedometer. It is a heck of a lot less expensive than 
trying to find 14" tires with the correct diameter.

the speedo is .33 off  10 X  3.3 = 3.3 + 10 = 13.3 mph
                                   30 X 3.3 = 9.9 +  30 = 39.9 mph
10 mph =13 mph
20 mph =26 mph

30 mph =40 mph
40 mph =53 mph
50 mph =66 mph
60 mph =80 mph
70 mph =93 mph

 Can you make it up to the convention on Wed and Thur?

Hi all.  My 66 Monza came with two things among others:  14 inch wheels and a 
broken speedo drive.  I replaced the left front bearing cap and of course the 
speedometer started working again...I think the 14" wheels make the speedo 
reading pessimistic; it says 30 mph and I'm really going 40.  Anyone know if 
it's possible to re-gear the speedometer for 14" wheels?  Has anyone done this 
successfully?
Thanks guys...Bill Hershkowitz 66 Monza Sport Sedan 110 PG A/C
