matching speedo to rear end

[Atrus]

So, fabmandan was gracious enough to give me some panels off his junk midget, as well as give me a good price on a 3.90 rear end.

My '68, obviously, has the 4.22 rear end.

What do I need to do so my speedo reads correctly? I looked in the moss catalog, and it looks like only 1 speedo drive gear is available. This leads me to believe I will need the proper speedometer out of a 3.90 equipped car.

Am I correct?

 

[fabmandan]

I know a guy who has a speedo from a 3.90 car. :wink:

 

[Atrus]

Lol, I figured you wanted the whole thing in the dash :wink:

 

[fabmandan]

I don't want the dash. If you want the speedo stop by after work on Friday. It's not in the best of shape but it should work and it's all there.

 

[Atrus]

Cool, I'll stop by and grab that on Fri - what time are you normally home? I could be there around 4:00 or so.

No worries on what shape it's in - worst cast I can swap all the aesthetic stuff from mine over to it.

Really, if you don't want the dash, I'll just take the whole thing off your hands. My tach acts a little funky at times, perhaps that one would work better.

 

[fabmandan]

Its yours. I'm home by 2:00.

 

[fabmandan]

But I think I need the tach. I'm going to put an alternator on my car, so no more cable drive.

 

[Atrus]

Ah, OK, cool. I'll take the dash minus whatever you want :wink:

See ya around 4:00 on Friday
