Got my gears but I have a ???
 
I got my FRPP 3.73's and in the box there is a small white gear that comes with the gears. Could this be what recalibrates my speedo? I was told I would have to buy a speed calibrator from Dallas Mustang, so I am not sure what this gear is...

Thanks!

Wow, Ford is including a 23T speedo gear with their 3.73 gears now? :think:

That's strange since that's not even a Ford part. :hmm:

I believe you can do it either way, but I believe you'll be more accurate with the SpeedCal.

Somebody may want to confirm whether I'm correect or not.... or if there are other issues involved.

Btw, if you end up not using the speedo gear, I want it. ;)

Brian, I bought these gears from a dude that has had them for a while, at least a year or so, I paid $100 so I guess I came out pretty good. If that is what they include to calibrate the speedo, I will probably go ahead and use that and test out how accurate it is after Lee installs the gears. Anyway thanks for the help!

BTW, did you get your windows tinted? I could swear the day you came to the shop here they weren't, then one day I passed you on 431 and they were tinted?

I forgot you got them from someone -- I was thinking you ordered them. :doh:

Yeah, they've been tinted for a few months now.

I thought you had to use an electronic speedcal on '96+ cars. :shrug:

Why? They have speedometer gears just like the earlier model Mustangs. :shrug:
