Re: Speedometer problem



I finally contacted Pat through eBay and have recieved a response from him. This link will take you to his page:  https://www.ebay.com/str/tflitepattysshopmart
Here is his response with info about the pinion gears for those interested:
Bill, in the 1960-65 Mopar era, Chrysler had only 6 speedo pinions for the 904 & 727 Torqueflites: 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 & 21. 20's & 21's are virtually unavailable. Sounds like you'll likely need an 18 or 19 pinion ? I have inventory of those 2. I have a tire conversion chart that likely would help you determine which speedo pinion you need. Send me the actual tire manufacturers numerical designation from your tire's sidewall & I can use the conversion chart to choose the correct speedo pinion. With some of the higher numerical axle ratios, Chrysler used a Stewart-Warner 'ratio adapter'. You can likely find our 'direct contact' info on the internet. eBay does not allow e-mail addresses to be used when communicating.
Thanks,
Pat

Yes that's the Email for him on the vendor's page.

Bill S. reported he tried that and his email "wasn't delivered to tflitepatty@xxxxxxxxxxx because the address couldn't be
found, or is unable to receive mail".

Maybe there was a mail outage when he tried and should try again?

I'll update the vendor's page when and if I find out more about contacting him.

Thanks,
Gary H.
