Andy,
If anything, my speedo is PESSIMISTIC, otherwise it would be showing me 85
MPH at 4,000 RPM, not 55!!
I just lubed the tach cable because it was bouncing a bit. The speedo has
been rock solid while I've owned the car. The tach cable is now very solid
as well. No bounce in either guage. I'm perplexed.
Best wishes,
Jeff
