I think you just might be a deep cover plant here in 311s.org. This might be it for me I could be in big trouble talking the way I do. Are you stasi police?

Crap!!! I crossed the road last week and didn’t use the designated cross walk….please don’t call SWAT. .. my point is that authorities have far bigger fish to catch than roadster loving “ felons”.
And just to clarify ….I’m Redroadster68… from Canada, where we welcome all speedometers, 100
Kph right up to 300 kph, working, not working, accurate, inaccurate….welcome…welcome all. :lol: :P

Don't you need a 4 yr auto motive college degree to obtain/buy , install auto parts in
Can nada
So I think you could handle the no touch speedo , the reason being scores of people payed alot to get a low mile car only to find out it wasn't

oh my... missed the conversations on this thread since my last post... didn't mean to cause such a kerfuffle.
got my speedo back in good working order and installed it myself. it reads 4-5 mph faster than what google maps says i'm doing, but hard to know how accurate google is. i suspect my tire size has something to do with what i would call a normal range of speedo error common to the vehicles of this vintage.
