Can someone tell me the ratio on my rear? I went to tech archives for the axle ratio calculator, but it kept taking me to 1/4 mile calculator. Anyway the pinion gear has 14 teeth and the ring gear has 41 teeth. The way I used to to do it and I might be doing it wrong, I come up with 2.98?

41 divided by 14 is 2.928

2.928, meaning 2.93s

41 divided by 14 = 2.928

2.93's, is that a ratio that would have come in a '69 Roadrunner? I'm just not that familiar with that ratio.

Not a correct ratio for a '69 Road Runner . They came standard with 3:23

Why? 2.93 is a legitimate gear ratio, just not OE in a Road runner.... Things get swapped in 40 years...

Your right. Didn't mean to imply otherwise.
Just giving him some others. I know when I count them I never get it right the first time around.
