Is that the "Blue" gear? Can you post the part (catalog) number? Thanks.

What?

I got a 23 tooth gear from the website I posted before & with a T-85 with a 7 tooth transmission gear & 4:10 rear end my speedometer is dead on with a GPS. I haven't got on the interstate & checked the odometer yet. I called them to make sure we was all on the same page.

No one is reproducing the 23 tooth gear to my knowledge and the only NOS one that I have ever seen was on Ebay a few years ago. It was made for the police interceptor package. I got outbid on that one. I have the 22 tooth gear in my car but still have a 10 MPH speedometer error at 65 MPH. Alan S. Freeman

I checked that website that Havava suggests and they list a 22 Tooth and call it "Very Rare" for $29.00 AND DENNIS CARPENTER MAKES THAT GEAR AND I BOUGHT IT FROM THEM FOR $10.00. I think that Carpenter is the best bet by far.

Dennis carpenter makes gears of various teeth and sells them to people like Casco for resale At a higher price then you can buy direct from Carpenter, so I would check with Dennis carpenter. Try a reducer from a 4 speed (Granny Geared) pick up and you get closer with less teeth.

Thanks E.J. for the link but judging from their website it looks like the only style 23 tooth Ford gear is the post 1957 style. They do have the 1956 and earlier style but only up to 22 teeth. I will call them tomorrow just to make sure. Do you actually have a 23 tooth gear of the pre-1957 style? Alan

Here's the website for speedometer gears........

CASCO has 19 tooth through 22 tooth gears but no 23 tooth gears. Alan

The TBird suppliers have a limited selection of gears. Check CASCO

E.J. in Florida....please let me know where you got your 23 tooth speedometer gear. I need one for my '54 Ford Police Interceptor setup. I have a 22 tooth gear in the car now but the speedo is about 10 MPH too fast at 65 MPH. If anyone has a 23 tooth gear or knows where to find one please let me know. Thanks, Alan S. Freeman
