My 57 is on the road, and its bright yellow color sure turns heads. Went to my first cruise-in last night, and had some nice compliments. Now I'll spend the rest of my life tweeking every little thing.
I have an original speedometer which reads 8.8 miles for 10 miles driven using mile-markers on the highway. With a 3.36 rear, 235/70/15 rubber, and a T5 from an 89 Camaro w/ 6 cyl engine, the 700r4 website says I need a 17 tooth drive gear and 41 tooth driven gear for correct speedo readings. Does anyone out there know what the drive gear is in this transmission, or possibly a website I could visit which could help ?
Thanks in advance | | |

Pull the driven gear out & count the teeth or look on it as they usually say the number of teeth. Get one with 2 less teeth & recheck it. Don,t worry about the inner gear.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
