57Roadmaster75 Member Registered: 02/16/07 Posts: 61 Loc: San Antonio, TX	My speedo is dorked up(technical term, I know). It pegs to about 120 whenever I go about 10 miles an hour or better. Sometimes it will rest at 40 when I'm standing still. I've seen/heard lots of this kinda problem with these. Is there a common ailment and hopefully a cure? I've got the speed minder set to 20 so it hardly ever buzzes anymore. Sometimes when I'm at a stop. One of these days I'm gonna pull the wire off that bugger. At least until when/if I ever get the speedo fixed. _________________________ Dave 1957 Roadmaster 75 4 Door 1957 Imperial Southampton 4 Door 1957 DeSoto Fireflite 4 Door Hdtp 1958 Imperial Sedan 1962 Imperial Crown Southampton 4 Door
