Thanks for the help Fitzwell, but I already ordered a few from Dennis Carpenter. The CA-3010 was correct, so thanks guys on that one.

How do you know wich plastic gear you need? My speedo is off about 10 mph give or take.

you count the number of teeth the gear has on it. then you either add or subtract the number of teeth to get you speedo correct. the people who sell the gears can tell you which gear is right if you tell them how much you are off and which way its off either fast or slow 10 mph
