Wrong Speedometer gears.

These are the speedometer gears that came with my (2) transmissions. The yellow 16 tooth gear was in the 280Z 4 speed transmission that came with my car. It is wrong for my 3.36:1 differential, and the speedometer read too fast. The green 18 tooth gear came with in the 1983 280ZX 5 speed transmission that I bought to replace the 4 speed when it broke. It is also wrong for my differential (I think). I ended up buying a 17 tooth gear from Courtesy Parts. (It is black.)
Somewhere I also have a white 19 tooth gear, I can't remember why...

I know a few people were following along on this- been a while since I last posted here- but finally all came together!
Mounted up and running strong! Still a few details to work out; but runs good, sounds good, feels good on the initial pulls. Super happy it worked out!

Well I decided to go for it -
Went with 42's and a TWM manifold. Still lots to sort out, but Ill start another thread on it somewhere and link it back here. Rought calculations hopefully put it in between an OER setup and a Mikuni PHH setup $wise.

I would probably do them in pairs, then each pair goes to a common shaft.

Part of running a single shared throttle shaft was for a super clean look- like how datsun_tokyo linked above has it.
I also still haven’t decided on the manifold- but was planning on the TWM one- seems to be the cleanest and allows me to run without all the linkages.
With that said I’m interested- I’ll shoot you PM.
