Mike,

Is the 102 mph based on your speedo, or GPS?  I hate to tell you this, but, 
at one time, my speedo was so far off it was reading 100 when I was doing 
only 75.

I have had three different speedos in my '66, and I have given up trying to 
get them calibrated.  I drive by the tach:  4000 rpm in 4th, 78 mph.  That's 
with a 4-speed and the correct pinion.  My wife gave me a GPS for Christmas, 
and I plan to "calibrate" things with that device when the weather improves.

I'd be interested in hearing other's experiences with stock Nissan speedos 
for early (or late) cars.
