Lightbulb What Speedo Gear With 3.42's?

I had 3.42 Gears..and Eaton posi installed last year..and never got around to getting the speedo recalibrated..Thers some places around here that want like 180-200$ I went to summit racing and put in "Speedo" in their search..and it looks like the speedo gears are only like 8-10$ what one would i need.
Stock it i had the 2.73's in there
now i have 3.42/Eaton Posi..and im pretty sure its a 26 spline.

If you have a 700r4 the closest you can get is a 45 tooth driven gear. That will probably require a new sleeve, too. The gear is cheap but the sleeve is highway robbery on GM's part. It cost me $94 Canadian

SLP sells the drive and driven gear as a set for about $40. I just ordered and installed a set for my son's 87 IROC and it cost about $37 minus shipping for a 3:73 gear set. They also have 3:42 gear sets.

If you've got a 5 speed, you may or may not be in luck. GM discontinued the gear needed for the 3.42 in the T5, but the overwhelming majority of the 2.8 5 speeds out there had the 3.42 gears, so you can pull the drive and driven gears out of one of them in a junk yard.
