on 91 or 92 Z28s with a NON-cable driven speedo how do you compensate for rear end gear ratio? Im going from 3.23s to 3.73s and want to keep the speedo accurate.

change speedo gear in the trans,

where your speedo plugs into the side of the tranny,
take out the 10mm bolt,
slide the whole assembly out,
the is a gear on it change that to the right 1,
the gear is like $10
