Default speedometer problem

Running great when speed on dash went from 40 to about 65 and the faster you go the speed goes up on the dash.86' C-4. Everything else seems to be ok.

So you're saying that the faster you go, the higher speed you see on the dash? And this is a problem because...?

Yup. mine does the same thing , lol

I think he means that the speedo increase unpoportinatley to the speed that he is actually moving. If so, then first thing I gotta ask is do you have the correct factory size tires on your car?
