the ratio for the tailshaft on a 91 auto is 1:1, and you have a 8 tooth drive gear, 23 tooth won't be exact for 3.73 let alone 4.10's, hate to break the news to ya but you'll need to do a drive gear swap if you really want to read accurate. let me try to find the chart for ya....

ADDED:

1990-1993 automatic AOD speedo gear
2.73-19 tooth
3.08-20 tooth
3.27-21 tooth
3.55-23 tooth

yea but if you look closely they use the same 23 tooth for 3.55, 3.73, and 4.10 gears, thats mathematically impossible to work for all 3 if they are the only variable....i'm still looking around for that chart, it might be at home...

not the exact chart but will work, 21 tooth speedo w/ a 6t drive gear... and if you go to the home page they'll give a bunch of info on the individual tranny gear ratios that your also looking for in your other thread
