The 35 tooth gear worked almost perfectly. It is one tenth off in 10 miles, so 1 mile extra in a 100 miles. Got the needle set at right about 1 MPH fast at 60 MPH. It's more accurate than my all factory stock '92 truck.
Thanks again guys.


I figured 35 would get you there. You are well within the correction of error on a non certified speedometer.
