I'm supplying a link to the company that I use to calibrate my MECHANICAL
speedometers and others to read correctly due to changed gear ratio's or
tire sizes.
They list the procedures to determine what gears you will need either buy
just ordering a replacement gear inside the transmission or have to purchase
a ratio adapter.
