Try using the blue one, 20 teeth. Thats what was in my muncie before I switched from 3.08 to 3.42.

My '72 Nova has 3.08's & 225/60-15 tires. The drive gear has 8 teeth, & the driven gear has 19. It reads just a little bit fast (<2mph) at 70mph. My '69 6-cyl. came from the factory with 3.08's & the same speedo gears, but I can't remember the exact tire size (they were 1 size smaller than standard '69 Camaro tires).

hey blue69,

What was the tooth count for the 3.42 set up ?
I changed the rear end last year from a 2.56 to a 3.42 but never got around to the speedo gear. It broke on the weekend and I plan to get a new one from GM. Thanks

macdon,
I went to a 21 tooth gear(red). I am running 245/60-15 BFG's. Seems to be pretty close to correct, at least close enough for me!

Thanks, I am running the same tire size so Red is the one I'll get tomorrow.
