Thanks John, I've been meaning to do this for years since the Ford 5-speed I'm using has a much slower cable. I did this myself yesterday using stakes planted right beside the street. I came up with an even 22 turns. Since it can be done alone you can fire all those guys who talked over your video : ) (except the cameraman)
Hi John, Following your advice I sent my speedometer to Nisonger's with my result, which was 22 turns over 1/50th mile. Back on Tuesday I get a call from their tech saying that they want results for 1/100th of a mile. Well, it's going to be 11 turns, right ? It was indeed 11 turns. I think he was yanking my chain : )
I’ve wanted an MGA for a while. However, I’ve come to the conclusion I really shouldn’t own any vintage automobile… is there anything on vintage cars that doesn’t require fiddling?
So painful. 1000metres = 1kM. 1 metre =100 milli metres. Use metric reading then convert to crazy imperial reading. Use an online metric / imperial converter.
John, your math is needlessly complicated. You had 26 turns plus 200 degrees in 1/50 mile. So just multiply by 50 and get 1300 plus 10000 degrees or 1300 plus 28 = 1328.
Thanks John,

This guy knows what hes doing but he complicates everything
Good explanation of how it's done. Thanks very much.
Super helpful thank you very much

Great idea - but painful to watch in imperial measurements!
Yep I'm trying to do it for an Australian car ATM but still most informative video I've found yet
thats useful information. thanks.

Nice piece. Tell the complainers that they can watch any segment of the video as many times as they want if they miss something.. Whiners!
Which gear is engaged?
Nutural they pushed it
