Alright speedo fixed!

Thanks with some help from guys better at math than I am. Ordered ratio adapter 1.38 tested it its only less than a tenth of a mile off in 10 mile markers. Under so speedo is less than 1% fast I think. Any way talk cop outta speeding ticket 30 in a 25 while ago. Don't really have to worry about speeding on the interstate withy 6cyl and extremely tall gears.

83 C10 250/6 465 tran.

Re: Alright speedo fixed!

If you're a tenth under, then that means the speedo is 1% SLOW, displaying 49.5 mph at actual speed of 50.

Glad you got it sorted. On to the next project!

For SBC, these are pretty nice. Inexpensive as well. I just put a set in.
