<VV> Fwd: Speedo Question

[ScottyGrover at aol.com]

No rocket science needed here; just multiply the mileage by 1.6.

Mike,

You should have been a math major.  I  thought it was hard to convert from 
miles to  kilometers:)

Bill, 
Do you have a GPS? Mine can tell me my exact  speed. What I did was just to 
entally recalibrate the speedometer. It is a  heck of a lot less expensive 
than 
rying 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
0 mph =13 mph
0 mph =26 mph
30 mph =40 mph
0 mph =53  mph
0 mph =66 mph
0 mph =80 mph
0 mph =93 mph
Can you make it up  to the convention on Wed and Thur?
MIKE  KOVACS

B"H
i all.  My 66  Monza came with two things among others:  14 inch wheels and 
a 
roken  speedo drive.  I replaced the left front bearing cap and of course 
the  
peedometer started working again...I think the 14" wheels make the speedo  
eading pessimistic; it says 30 mph and I'm really going 40.  Anyone  know 
if 
t's possible to re-gear the speedometer for 14" wheels?  Has  anyone done 
this 
uccessfully?
hanks guys...Bill Hershkowitz 66 Monza  Sport Sedan 110 PG  A/C
