Default speedometer question

Has anyone in the South florida area, in particular Palm Beach, had their speedometer calibrated? If so where did you go and what did they charge?

well after some searching I located two companies in the South Florida area. Leospeedometer in Miami for $30.00 and Double Nickles out of Jupiter which is a mobile test unit for $45.00.

there is the old fashioned way......take the instrument panel out, remove the plastic cover, reinstall the instrument panel, have a friend drive with another car, while you are both doing x mph, take the pointer off and reinstall while driving at the set speed, and reinstall pointing to the right x mph numeral.

a fork works well in removing the pointer, just be gentle.

i have done it that way, but it takes time and effort.

i also went the so-called professional way and paid $50.....Moody ford, i believe, north Titusville.

with the first, $50 stayed in my pocket, with the second i had very little to do except pay the bill.

it all depends on your priorities.......

happy thanksgiving!
