V8 vega - Page 7

First off this question don’t belong here but I’m sure one of you knows the answer. When I was a teenager I had a V8 Vega and it never made it to the track but where we raced I’m guessing and about 1200 feet it would flutter the windshield wipers then hold em off the windshield till you lifted. The speedo was way off from the Power train swap anyone else encounter this if so at what speed did that happen. One of those things ya spend the rest of your life wondering almost makes you want to build another one with correct speedo to see but I hated it unless the go pedal was nailed and then for a short time it was my favorite car ever. It was a 1972 stock hood car.
