1.98 Rear End?

Hello, Guys and Gals,

Although I have been visiting your wonderful site for several months, I just recently purchased a 1967 Barracuda, so I figured that I should join up. I am trying to repair several items that are not working on the car, and need some help with a speedometer. My original speedo was broken, and I replaced it with a nice used unit, but the new speedo doesn't work. I thought I should check out the rear end gears so that I can check for the proper pinion gear while I am troubleshooting. It appears that the car has 1.98 gears in the rear, and the speedo pinion chart in the shop manual doesn't go that low. Any suggestions? Any comments on the gear ratio?

Thanks.
