K2500 Speedo and MPG check with GPS
It seemed like my speedometer was off a bit. I decided to check it and the odometer as well as true MPG by running a GPS for a tank of gas.
Turns out the speedometer/odometer is off by about 10% (indicates faster than true speed). When GPS speed was showing 55 mph, speedometer was at about 60-61 mph. Odometer also registered about 10% too many miles. MPG check with true GPS miles was 11 mpg in mixed town and highway driving. Here is my setup: 1972 GMC K2500 350/350TH/NP205 4:10 gears (per previous owner, I haven't checked but seems reasonable) 235/85R16 tires HEI distributor set to 8* base "RV" cam (per previous owner, I don't know the specs but seems fairly mild) Weiand 8004 intake Edelbrock 1406 carb with one step richer than stock metering rods
