speedometer replacement

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Don Your right there was an error on my part, it is called a typo, my bad.
My math is for my tires which are 502 RPM not the 501 that I put into the
first post, thank you for catching that and your right it does affect 5 of
the 6 digits, I am fortunate that I got the right answer in the first place
for my application. I guess I may have to sharpen my calculator with SO
many digits, I ran out of room using fingers and toes.

This ends my participation to this thread and will not make any further
posts because heaven forbid I might make a mistake being human. Ever make a
mistake? Yep, happened to me once.

Safe travels,
