Can anyone tell me how many teeth the speedo gear should have with the 411
rearend. It'd be nice to get that right with the tranny out of the car...

Subject: shorter gearing
I'm real happy with my gearing, which is just what you mentioned.
U20 Solex (44PHH), B Cam, 3.889 rear end (outa 1600), 60 series tires.
It really gets up and goes on the tight twisty roads, and doesn't tach too
high on freeway runs.
Too bad my speedo is 25% off (measured with GPS). The basic increments are
in 10% corrections with alternate speedo gears...(i got that info from Ross
Mullens)
