I missed the first part of this, but I won't let that stop me.
Check the speedo gear in the trans - maybe you have one for a different diff
ratio and your tach (a mechanical one, if stock) is just fine.
Oh yes - and use a 5/8" front bar, or at most a 3/4" one on an A for the
street (NO rear bar!), and unless you did a typo, your 4.33 rear end is
either a 4.3 (10 tooth pinion, 43 tooth crown), or you have a unique ratio ;-)
