160B,
We will be out in the car on Wednesday and will check the odometer. I had already decided to try to get both speedometer and odometer correct by doing as you have suggested. The info you posted on Speedo overhaul and adjusting the air gap will be very helpful. I imagine that 16-17% error is at the extreme end of errors so I will probably have to change the air gap quite a bit. Fine tuning might be trial and error though. Thanks for your help.
