I just discovered that my speedometer is reading 7 mph too fast. When going 43 mph, it reads 50 mph. This may keep me from getting a ticket but I'll bet my odometer mileage is way higher than actual.
Is this correctable?
Thanks

the speedo can be recalibrated by using a power programmer which can adjust for different tire sizes and gear ratios, also it will boost horse power, shift points and ignition timing etc. the dealer can do this for you for a charge but it might be just as cost effective to buy the power programmer
