I need to know what the input speed for the factory 1938 100mph pickup speedometer is. I wish to mate it with my TH350 and need to find out if I will even be able to slow down or speed up the ratio from the transmission enough to calibrate it correctly or If i need to change my diff ratio to make up that difference, etc..

All known GM speedometers read 60 mph at 1000 rpm on the input shaft.

My 37 works with a T350, the odometer is real closebut the speedometer is off a bit due to the weak magnet in the speedometer head. The odometer is geared to the cable so its a direct reading. Just gear the T350 using anyone of the speedometer calculator on the web to match your tire diameter and rear axle gear ratio, it should right on or atleast really close. Joe
