Speedometer Problem

Hey all,

I've got this problem: my speedometer reads about 10 mpg over what it should whenever I'm driving. Although this has improved my 0-60 time I'd like to get back to reality and know my real speed when I'm driving. Ahhhhh! I've tried reconnecting the speedometer cable and every time I do (5-6 times) I've been gettin consistent results with the +10 mph.

Any suggestions? Thanks all.

When reading the speedo, just subtract 10! :P You might want to go to a junkyard and find a instrument cluster and replace it. That would most likely be your best bet.
