Weekend fun

[#'s Matching '68 Bird]

After a morning spent troubleshooting speedo issues, I gave her a bath and took her for a ride.

Can you now confirm that the speedo is accurate all the way up to 130...?

 

[Russ69Runner]

Had my runner up to 110 and did not want to bust the speed O. It only goes to 120 on the gauge. 383 four speed and that mustang gave up trying to catch me.

Unfortunately, no. After the teardown I determined the plastic piece holding the gauge needle spring is broke. Needs to be sent out but, I'm not having it torn aport for that long over the summer season. Winter project. For now, I'll just go with the flow of traffic.

I've taken mine to over 120 while chasing down a hemi dart and it still works and if it breaks it was fun doing it
