After a few trips to the tranny man we finally got the right combo of gears. 17 (red) in the tailshaft or drive gear and a 34 (green) in the speedo housing. Thanks to everyone that helped out. I appreaciate it.

What were you charged?
I was rollin down the road in the Longhorn yesterday (first time I had it up to normal speed!!) and even though I was only doin 45 or so, the speedo claimed almost 100!

Wasnt charged anything. The tranny guy was cool about it since it was one of his guys that put the 15 tooth drive gear in instead of the 17 he was supposed to. This site http://www.bgsoflex.com/speedo1.html is accurate well was for me. This one http://novaresource.org/speedo2.htm and this one http://novaresource.org/speedo.htm have good info about what the colors mean and the ratios. Its good stuff. -
