Speedo Gears
Anybody give me a couple of options for where to buy Speedometer Correction gears?
Switching from a 3:73 gear to a 4:10 ratio. Thanks

You can't do a "mechanical correction" with out changing drive and driven. The only person I know that sells both reasonably is Marc

It's nearly to the point where a person is maybe better off with an ERA/DRA and there's maybe 3 (a stretch) that are considered quite reliable.
**** OP never mentioned ZF but "902066" seemed a reasonable "userID" for C4 ZR-1 so I mentioned the ZF solution.

I good had luck with Bowtie overdrives when I needed to setup the 700r4 for my 68 Caprice, I'm just not sure if your year C4 has a different setup.

In my case, I found it easier to remove the tail shaft housing to install (trans was out already).
