It wouldn't apply to all because the number of revs per mile varies from vehicle to vehicle. For example, the rev/mile of a 2WD Vanagon, which takes its speedometer drive directly from one of the front hubs, is much lower than for front wheel drive VW cars, which take it off the transaxle. _ _ __ _ _ _| | | | David M.
