Rick,
They are probably off....
Or you have a really LOW rear in that thing ;) Or the wrong
speedometer gear in the tranny maybe??? Or a bad speedo cable? Or
the cable is pushed into the speedo too far?
I get 70mph cruising speed with no problem (about 4600rpm on my tach)
and the front end begins to float at just over 90MPH. A local cop
clocked me at 70 on Radar while I was holding 70 on the speedometer.
