speedometer calculations By robbjo - 06/01/2004 12:08:06 AM; IP 24.8.38.26 I am trying to figue out the estimated mileage on my Galaxie. it's a 65 that had a 352 and cruise-o-matic transmission when i first got it. I later picked up a 68 LTD with a 390 and C6 and fitted in the 65. What I notice now is the speedometer seems to be off. If the speed limit is 40. my speedometer is reading 50 -55. in others words the car is going 40 but the gage is doing 55! I know what the problem is, and please, correct me if I'm wrong, but i did'nt change the cog (or cable) form the 68 donor car. but my question is the estimated miles driven. I'm showing approximately 12,200 miles since we rebuilt the engine and transmission, but if the car's gage is running faster than the car is accually travling, can I assume the miles are less than they are? If so is there a formular to use to calculate. Thanks rob jay
