I keep learning new things about my new '57. I took it out a couple of days ago with a gps unit to see how close the speedometer was to reality. The indicated speed needed to hit actual speeds were: 32 to hit 30, 37 to hit 35, 42 to hit 40, 48 to hit 45, 58 to hit 55, then things got interesting. It bounced around a bit above 60 and the speedometer seemed to be reading about 64 to hit 60. Then it stayed in the 62 to 64 range through actual 65 and 70. I really had not intended to try 70 but my wife who was watching the gps called out 70 while the speedometer was still indicating about 64. The indicated vs actual speeds below 60 stayed consistent. To me that sounds like a speedometer problem rather than a cable problem. Thoughts?
