8-3/4" ratio question

[Bill M]

detailed my 8-3/4" axle. Just put it back together.

I have a rear gear with 43 teeth and it takes the pinion 4 revolutions to 1 revolution of the rear gear.

what is my ratio?

Well that would be 4:1, since I've never heard of a 400, my guess would be it is 410. But if you want to know exactly divide the teeth on the ring gear by the number on the pinion.

 

[Fran Blacker]

4.10

I'm thinking if you can count the teeth, you have the pumpkin out.. read the ratio on the side of the ring gear!

 

[Don Frelier]

3.91

 

[dadsbee]

I agree with Don.. a 43 ring gear would have a 11 tooth pinion = 3.91

couldnt read the numbers on the gear.

would be happy with a 4:10 or a 3:91.

I heard my car was a terror in central FLA back in the day.
