5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
If you change out the drive gear on your output shaft to a 6 or 7 tooth (assuming it's not already), you can run steeper gears and still have an accurate speedo.
My 23 tooth got chewed up.....That's why I was saying you can get better accuracy w/ the 6 or 7 tooth drive gear and then match up the correct speedo-driven gear. My Zspec has the 7 tooth yellow drive gear and I'm using the black (20 or 21 tooth?) driven gear for my 3.55's.....
^I agree with you, but not sure if he is willing to change the drive gear to mesh a 21 tooth black... But yes youare correct, that is the correct way to do it.
