[Healeys] Speeds, distances, and odometers.

[David Nock]

My Garmin and the odometer in the Healey were 20 miles difference on  
the trip to San Diego and back.

If your speedo is jumping around then either the cable is to long  
sticking out into the instrument or the cable is bad. If the end of  
the cable sticks out to far it will damage the instrument and it will  
need to be re built.
