I'm trying to figure out the speedometer drive gearing inside the different gearboxes. I'm helping a friend with his speedometer. He has a 100-6 which was delivered without overdrive. My own car is

AFAIK, all 6-cyl cars with O/D came with 3.91 differential ratios. The non-O/D cars came with 3.54 rearends (else they would run very high RPMs at highway speeds). The 3.54 is a popular retrofit for

If you will check the parts manual, it will show a rear end ratio of 3.545 for non overdrive cars and 3.90 for those fitted with overdrive. John 64/66 BJ8s ___________________________________________

I didn't calculate those numbers, that's the numbers that are written on the faces of the speedos. Are you saying that you have 1000 on your speedo? Clausager says that 100-6 came with 4.1 for overd

Hi again I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is a difference in the gear ratio of the speedometer drive (the thing on the gearbox output shaft that drives the speedometer cable) on cars with

Actually calibration is accomplished by a special device that uses electromagnetism to gauss or degaussing the aluminum disc in the speedometer head to provide more or less magnetic flux acting again

Cannot answer your question. But is there perhaps enough difference in the 3rd and 4th gears in the gearbox of the two cars to require the different speedos? Just a thought. However, 980 compared to

I've been able to dial mine in by moving the needle, even going from a 3.91 to a 3.54 rearend (since the change was a constant 11% or so over the entire range of the speedo). If you look closely, the

As far as I know the restorers/rebuilders of old speedometers have two ways of calibration, the tension of the return spring and the degree of magnetizing the magnets. Magnets are made from special m

OK, on my car the prop shaft needs to be turned 16 times to turn the speedometer drive 5 full turns. That's a gear ratio of 3.2:1. It appears that my friend still have his old non overdrive gearbox

Don't know. I just watched her do it. The machine may have worked on the rotor. Since it is iron it probably did... But there is no mechanical connection between the rotor and the ally disc, so there

No magnetic component in the alloy. What forces the aluminium disc to turn is the so called electro-magnetical eddy current prinziple (sorry, hope this is the right expression in English language).
