Ok, I finally got the car road drivable (except the exhaust). I hooked up my speedo and when i'm dirving, it says i'm doing 50 when I know i'm not. At a stop, it shows 10mph. WTF?! How am I doing 10mph while idling.

any ideas? I have a brand new speedogear housing with new drive/driven gears, the correct sizes for my tires.

 

your gauge is all gunked up so that it its not moving freely. my dads truck does the same thing ya tap it and it falls to 0.

 

Thanks. I'll take it back out and clean it and see what I get then. But why would it jump to 50mph if I didnt get that fast yet? No way I was doing more than 30mph. Open header in neighboorhood at 10am.

 

well if it is sticking it will jump to as it breaks loose for a bit till it smags again. but that would have to be a sticky cable.
