    I put an 85 AOD in my 53. I want to use my original Speedo. It looks like the housing that goes into the Transmission will fit but the teeth on the gear are angled the wrong way. I have 3.78 gears in the rearend. does anyone know what speedo gear or cable I should use? Or any of you who have done this, what did you do?

    You might do a search of past postings. I think there was a recent discussion on this subject.
