I have done the math and my speedo is out by 7 % so if i reduce the gear drive by 1 tooth I get and increase of approx 6% in cable speed close enough for me, But my main question is where can I get the small drive gears? I have tried 3 old Chrysler suppliers here in OZ ands no luck , Mopar Market didn't have them either has any one got a second suggestion.

Pat Blais aka torqueflite patty might have one of those hard-to-find gears

Good thinking Don.

If you want to try Pat he has a new email address :

tflitepatty@comcast.net

(tell him that you are from Downunder when you ask him).

Another method of determining rear axle ratio:

I've found that Brewer's Performance has better prices on speedo gears.

Guessing at what parts you need might be more expensive in the long run.
