I would be more than glad to. However, Right now I have the front
suspension apart as I am rebuilding it in anticipation of a Driving
vacation later this year. and it is currently on blocks. I should have it
running in a couple of weeks and can check that then. In the possibly
mistaken belief that my speedo is accurate. Until then why don't you ask
the rest of the list. Also, remember that tire size has a significant
effect on RPM's at a particular speed, and it is necessary to know what
size tire you have (circumference). Even tires of the same size, i.e.
165/70-13's, from different makers can have different circumferences. So
RPM at a certain speed can differ quite a bit. If you are willing to put
up with a few mph's off you can get a pretty reliable estimate. OR get a
friend with an "accurate" speedo to run up to thos speeds and then check
it. :)
