Johnny, if your engine were actually turning 3750 rpm, ( you did say close to 4000 rpm) that would put your speed at 86.512875, so IF your spedometer read 5 mph low, like mine reads 5 mph high.....
Can you run a few miles down the highway at 60 mph, or 75 mph, with a stopwatch and see if your speedometer is incorrect?

Now that's more like it!  Right on target with where I wanted to be in the first place. I will definitely have to clock it against the mile markers to get a true speedo error result. I am used to the speedo's reading higher than actual. This lower than actual could be quite dangerous to my license. Thank you so much for your calculations, bud!  Now to fix my massive exaust leaks that have developed this week, get it inspected, and replace the clutch in time for the meet and I will be readdy to let others enjoy the 5-speed experience in Reading.
Johnny
