Been doing searches and reading about these 3 things.
Apparently they are best gotten from a Mark VII?
But where are they on the car? (pics would be nice)
-And are they hard to get off? (and put onto my car?)
I think the speedo gear is on the LH side of the tailshaft?
No idea on the other 2.
There is a 1990 lincoln mark VII (parts car) sittin' out back. Belongs to my father-in-law.
I was going to take the top-end off the motor but things have changed.
Car has axle code "5" so That is 3.27 open, yes?
Was thinking maybe I should get the ring+pinion as well as the speedo gear/governor/rev limiter.
I want to eventually do gears and a trac-lok on my CV.
The 3 ratio's I'm considering are 3.27/3.55/3.73.
I think the 3.73's would actually be best for me, but gears are pricey and these would be free. They do have 168k on them though.
Perhaps I would be better off to get gears from a ranger/exlporer 8.8 instead?
Ranger would probably be better as most of those are 28 spline (if I find one with LSD).
One thread I read here said that there are 7 and 8 tooth gears that are used in AOD's in conjuction with the speedo gear, so just because I get a speedo gear and R+P out of the same car does not nessessarily mean that it will work right in my car?
