Then after a week running around and the trip back home.
spedo showed 804.0 and the GPS showed 790.9 for the total trip.

Interestingly enough the odometer reads correctly, at speeds under 50mph there was a 0.1 mile difference every 10 miles or so. However at speeds above 50 mph the difference was greater.

Nope, came out of a '82 300TD and even the odometer has "82" stamps on in it.
