How you didn't find the info is beyond me, this has been covered a million times

With 15 Tooth Drive Gear
Axle Ratio - Tire Height - Driven Gear Teeth

3.73 - 26 - 43
3.73 - 27 - 42
3.73 - 27 1/2 - 41
3.73 - 28 - 40
3.73 - 29 - 39
3.73 - 30 - 38
3.73 - 31 - 36

With 17 Tooth Drive Gear (your car should have this gear already in it)
Axle Ratio - Tire Height - Driven Gear Teeth

3.73 - 28 - 45
3.73 - 29 - 44

EDIT: You may not like 3.73s, I put 3.42s in my TBI/auto car, went to 3.23s, much better. But I do drive on the highway daily.

Re: which speedo gear

yeah i dont do much high way driving but if 3.73s are to high sprung i will drop down already thought about it just i got posi unit gear ring and pinion from a friend for dirt cheap. and my tires are 26.18 inches so 26 so i would get 43?

Re: which speedo gear

As long as you also get the 15 tooth drive gear to go along with the 43 tooth driven gear. Make sure you buy the gear for the VSS, and not for the mechanical setup.

BTW: Your posts are hard to read, use proper punctuation to make it easier for the reader.

You will need to buy the 15 tooth gear, and the 43 tooth gear

They don't make a 49 tooth gear, that's why you need to change both gears. They only go up to a 45 tooth gear
