Just put a new speedo cable on the Dart and took it for a ride. Got back and parked it in the garage and shut it off, looked down and I'm still doing 55 . What I am wondering has anyone else had this happen, do they take a few miles to "loosen" up? I pulled the cable out and lubed it before install and it has no sharp bends or turns.

no, Was the speedo Ok b 4 & there was a cable prob, noise or needle jumping (from sticking/releasing cable)
No jumping, no noise, but it did seem to read a little lower than what it should.

Well the cable is just a mechanical rotational transfer device. Hence car stops cable stops. If the head is hanging up and showing mph then the problem is in the head.
