Check your rev counter. My 410's rev counter over reads by at least 1000rpm, and I've heard of other cars which suffer this. The speedo waves wildly around a roughly correct centre, but the rev counter is smooth, stable, and wrong. To check it, I bought a cheap laser tachometer from ebay that uses a reflector stuck onto the nose of the crankshaft to count revolutions.
