    I am trying to find the correct driven gear for my AOD transmission, the necessary info is below.
    The tire size: 215/70-15
    Ring and Pinion Ratio: 3.89:1
    The only thing that I do not know is the exact tooth count on the inside gear but I know that it is either 7 or 8

    The transmission that I have is this one: https://transmissioncenter.net/shop...-3-dominator-junior-dominator-junior-extreme/

    Which one should I but what gear count ? or where should I start ?

    There is a company in Texas (Texas Industrial Electric) that makes conversion “transmissions” adapter. They are easy to calculate if you your city uses those speed mph checkers you can drive by. I use one with a 90* off a T-Bird. I’ve used one for 5 years with the speedometer correct at any speed.
