Mike,

You should have been a math major.  I thought it was hard to convert from miles to kilometers:)

Bill, 
Do you have a GPS? Mine can tell me my exact speed. What I did was just to 
entally recalibrate the speedometer. It is a heck of a lot less expensive than 
rying to find 14" tires with the correct diameter.
the speedo is .33 off  10 X  3.3 = 3.3 + 10 = 13.3 mph
                                  30 X 3.3 = 9.9 +  30 = 39.9 mph
0 mph =13 mph
0 mph =26 mph
30 mph =40 mph
0 mph =53 mph
0 mph =66 mph
0 mph =80 mph
0 mph =93 mph
 Can you make it up to the convention on Wed and Thur?

i all.  My 66 Monza came with two things among others:  14 inch wheels and a 
roken speedo drive.  I replaced the left front bearing cap and of course the 
peedometer started working again...I think the 14" wheels make the speedo 
eading pessimistic; it says 30 mph and I'm really going 40.  Anyone know if 
t's possible to re-gear the speedometer for 14" wheels?  Has anyone done this 
uccessfully?
hanks guys...Bill Hershkowitz 66 Monza Sport Sedan 110 PG A/C
