Re: What is the RIGHT speedometer

You're not far off..

4.55 : 4.22 is 8%

1504 : 1376 is 9%

Re: What is the RIGHT speedometer

Sorry Phil , I respect you , but , how can it ?

Re: What is the RIGHT speedometer

" So the speedo cable entering the back of the speedo will be rotating at the same rpm whether it be a 4.55 or 4.22 diff. "

For the same road speed?
