Im betting last time it was filled up was with regular. It runs fine, idles fine, still have plenty of power, although maybe not 100% like a 560 should, but pings bad. I would image its got to be the gas. Yes, the speedo is electric. I did check to make sure the wire at the tranny was intact. Will pull the cluster next chance I get.
