Re: [T3] Crazy speedo marks


Hmph.  Didn't know later cars got trip odos.  My '69
doesn't have one.  It also has a silver-ish speedo
face, which matches the clock and the combo gauge.

As for speed marks, I found using a handheld GPS that
mine reads quite well off.  At an actual 25mph, it
reads 32mph.  The error gets smaller as speed rises
until 70mph, when it's dead accurate compared to the
GPS.
