Speedometer question
I changed my stock 3:36 on my '68 327 4 speed to a 4:11. Would anyone know which tooth speedometer gear would be in my tranny for the 3:36 and what I need to change it to for the 4:11? :confused:

I know this isnt the answer you are looking for but you can call a local transmission shop and ask them. I'm sure they would also be willing to sell you the part and they should have it in stock.

Re: Speedometer question (carl a)
I think ZIP used to have a chart in their catalog that gave a rule of them method using the MPH off and tooth count. You have determine your MPH off then pull the speedo adaptor and count the teeth.

Re: Speedometer question (ndirishr1)
count your teeth, the count SHOULD be on the gear itself....say it's 43t which is a typical marking......you would want 20% MORE teeth....or a 51 tooth gear in this example....you may have to change the gear on the tranny output shaft, OR the housing the speedo gear rides in.....or BOTH....
