Re: speedometer problems

you can either guess, or take it to a shop and they can set them for you.

the best thing to do is have someone take a picture of their gauges in the "turn key" locations and put yours where theirs are at

Re: speedometer problems

For the Tack, let the engine warm up then position it where it would normally idle as warm (not very accurate, but the tack´s not really that accurate anyways). For the spedo, I would drive really slowly, say 5 mph (brisk walk) and push the needle back on at that speed, lest that worked for my last car. If you know the governer´s speed, you could do it that way too, but that´s a little too exciting for my taste.
