Re: speedo gears
It will be the the purple gear with 10 teeth. I just did the same swap on my 350/TH350 with 3.73s.

Re: speedo gears
Actually, let me go to the house and I will look at it. But I am pretty sure that is what I used. The one you pulled out should have been black with 8 teeth on 3.08 gears.

Re: speedo gears
The driven gear I took out of the speedo sender was an 18 tooth gear, I believe the color was supposed to be purple. A friend of mine and I did alot of research and found that I need a 22 tooth driven gear. The drive gear inside of my trans is the 8 tooth orange gear. Here is where we found real good info. http://www.tciauto.com/Products/Tech...eedo_gears.asp. That is all I have. I have no idea as to weather mine is accurate due to the fact I have my speedo cable in the mail. That should get you close by our calculations.

Re: speedo gears
It is pretty accurate. I was rolling at 55 with a buddy beside me telling me he was at 55. We ran them all the way up to 70 reading the same. I guess this would have to be your combo. Good luck. Glad I could help you in anyway.
