Ring and Pinion Sets Hi, I want install a new Ring and Pinion Sets in my 1974 Ford Maverick, but is very hard find a new part I dont know where, are you know where I can buy? Which is the better Ring and Pinion Sets for my car, there are a other Ring and Pinion Sets of the other car that I can install in my Maverick? There are a better Ring and Pinion Sets that give more power at my car? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
The ring and pinion gears will not give you more power, but will help you use what you've got more efficiently. The gear ratio will depend on what you want to use the car for. Drag Racing go to a lower gear. I have 4.33's in mine. I run 1/4 mile. To use on the street I wouldn't go any lower than a 3.50, but that's just my opinion. They are available new from Summit racing or Jegs. Lots of them show up on ebay. Make sure you get the right ones for your rear end. The 74 came with an 8 inch rear.
i can get you any ratio you need. i have both new and good used gear sets for the 8" at my shop. my number is in my sig if your interested.
Summit Racing has 8" gears http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=700+4294918962+115+4294895172
