My 75 c-10 has a 250-6 cyl. with a 350 turbo. don't know the gears in the rearend. can anybody tell me what tooth speedometer gear i need to replace mine, it is stripped i guess. my speedometer quit. I thought it was the cable, but disconected it at the trans. and turned the cable and the speedometer needle worked with no problem. would it tell me what tooth it is if i take it out ? or does somebody know without taking it out? any help guys ? thanks, Art

Re: speedometer gears
Art,
The different speedo gears are designated by the color of the gear, Remove the gear and take it with you to get a replacement. We all know how these punk kids can be in these chain parts stores....

Re: speedometer gears
Use this calculator to find your ratio. Look for a combo closest to a whole number.

Re: speedometer gears
#1 You won't find the gears at any auto parts store.
#2 Any reputable auto tranny shop should be able to help you out. #3 Check out this websight http://www.transmissioncenter.net/sp...n_______va.htm to find out what speedo gears you need

Re: speedometer gears
I just went to my local dealer and they were able to get me a gear for my Turbo 350. I brought in the part number I needed, and when I first told the parts guy what I wanted he began to tell me they weren't made anymore, but he punched the number in and they were able to have it for me the next day. You gotta have the part number, or else you won't get anywhere.
