Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

With an 86 GL, automatic, 225/70R14 tires, 4,200 rpm, and an indicated
70MPH, the New Mexico State Police Officer insisted I was going 85.  He gave
me a warnig because at a dead stop, with the engine off, the speedometer was
still on 59.


With the tires that I have the chart says that I need a 764 instead of an
805.  I don't have a clue, nor have I cared in the past, about tires vs gear
ratios etc. With 205/70R14 tires I was never stopped.


Mike Faust is sending me a new speedometer.  I'll test the NMSP radar again
in the near future and let you know.


Randy
