Got any ideas on exactly how that issue should be dealt with?
BTW, my first car was a '66 Mustang. When I went to auto tech school, I dropped in a warmed over 302 and put a 4-speed toploader transmission w/a Hurst shifter behind it. For a short time, I had a Buddy Bar 3x2 intake manifold on it. (That I still have, BTW) My car had the factory 140 mph speedometer. Hey, it was there and I had to see exactly if it would get there.
I obviously had my guardian angels in those days because I really don't recommend anybody going that fast on cheap, bias-ply tires.
