There is evidence of that when you push a car.
It pushes back instantly. But that doesn't
mean gravity moves faster than c.


The finite speed of light is in evidence
as the car begins to move forward and the
remainder of the universe shifts position just a bit
to make room for the car's field from
a new position. That realignment propagates
at less than c.


But, what must we understand
by speed of gravity?.


See above:


I can't find a source or destination in
your equations. I can with Koroupolis
and the light paths are identified.

Can't you find a source or destination in my equations?
It is easy to find. If you can find the source and destination
for electromagnetic waves, then you can for gravitational
waves, too, because the source is the same and so is
the destination. The difference is that there is a pair of
events, S_e and S_g.


OK... at a glance, I'll give ya that.

The electromagnetic event S_e
is delayed and the gravitational event is advanced, [...]


What is your basis for that?

Hopefully not a null solution of Maxwell's equations:

Before you spend too much time trying to make that curve
fit, read my initial response about the reaction force.
The pushed car is *instantly* indistinguishable from
a brick wall. There is no Young's modulus that will
pull that out of Hubble-scale distances.

Hint:
Matter curves space-time.
