perhaps you could gimme a hand. On my '79 with NP203 TC, I was wandering what driven gear I need. I have a 100mph ground speed indicator, 3.23 gears and 31x10.50 rubber. Is this a Dodge dealer item, or could I get one just anywhere?

You can get them from the dealer, or pull one out of a J/Y. I want to say that you need the green one Not sure. There were a couple of different ones used for the different rear end ratios and tire sizes and such and they were color coded. The dealer does have them tho and I don't think that they are too expensive.

Well, it appears I need to know how many teeth the gear needs. Again, 100mph speedo, 203TC, 3.23 gears. Any ideas?

You will need to take your gear out, and count the teeth. Chryco makes lots of different gears. As a rule of thumb, if you need your speedo to read faster, you need LESS teeth on the replacement gear. As a general rough rule, each tooth is about 3 mph at 60 miles per hour. So if your speedo is reading 6mph below actual, get a gear with 2 less teeth. Let us know what you need. I have quite a few of extra gears at the house.

[email protected] will work I checked my odometer with the mile markers on the highway and it appears I am about 25% slow. For 100 miles travelled, I showed 80, and for 125 miles, I showed 100.

Next question is this - If I put in an aftermarket electric speedometer, are they easy to re-calibrate according to tire size, gear ratios, etc?
