My '65 step has a turbo 350 trans that obviously was in a car with a much 
higher (numerically low) gear ratio rear end.  My truck has 3.73 gears and 
the speedo reads very high.  To maintain an actual 60 MPH, my speedo must 
read 80-85 MPH!  I have not pulled the speedo drive gear yet to count the 
teeth, but I'd like to get one that will make my speed more accurate.  How 
many teeth should I be looking for and where can I get such a thing?
