Called Jim at PATC Transmissions...he wanted speedo readings at true speeds of 40, 50 and 60. Didn't really enjoy going 73 mph on I-680, but got numbers and called them back in to Jim. I have have an adapter enroute.
Again, thanks or the post.

Bob, I assume you are kidding about going 73 mph. That was the speed your speedometer was reading for Jim asked you for the reading at a true 60...yes?
