Default Speed Calibration!

In my case, I changed the tire size from 14" to 16", and now, the
speedometer reads about 50 when I'm flowing with city traffic in a
35mph zone.

Anyway, when the cable was pulled to put in a new gear, it broke off
in the tranny. Waiting on the new cable now. Then I have to go through
it all again. The rear gear "seems" to be 3.80 or 3.89.

One place where GM had a better idea... cable goes from the tranny
into a box of gears then out to the speedo. Lots of possible gear
combinations in that box.
