Just took my 54 out for the first test drive after getting her all back together. 400 sb, 400 turbo tranny, nova rear end, camaro front, electronic after market tach. The speedometer read way low (25mph when I was going 50mph) and the tach read way high (6000rpm when
going 55mph). The engine didn't seem to be overrevved. Any ideas? Thanks

Do you have the tach set for a 4-cylinder engine?

Thanks for the tip tclederman, pulled the guage, googled instructions, in the process of switching it to 8 cyl. Iequus guage is a push button to change cyl. options. Learn something new every day.
