I think the speedometer is close enough because when I keep pace with the traffic on the interstate, it is showing 70 mph give or take a couple of mph. I have hood tach which I don't think is the original... has there been any problems with the accuracy of the reproduction units?
Wouldn't hurt to have a GPS confirming your speed either.
