I just installed some 373 gears in a 94gt Mustang. I am wondering about how
much should it throw off my speed odometer. Thanks for all help.

What was it before?  Ask a math major.
OR, better yet

Simply get on the interstate and note odo reading at a mile marker then
see what it is ten miles later. TEN miles to deal with error due to
placement of marker or parallax error on your part.

If the odo reading is 1 mile off, then your speedo and odo are off 10%

Everyone should do this, anyway

    Better yet, just get the blue drive gear fot the speedo and install
it in the transmission. Why didn't the guy doing the installation
mention it??? If you use someone who has done Mustangs he should have
said something.

I'm intrigued by the thought that, later on,
the poster wont be able to find his question,
let alone an answer. - Backyard Mechanic

You can get this from your ford dealer.

I thought I could get this from my local Ford dealer... I got refereed
to "someone who knows how to fix speedometers.... you might try the
internet...."

Just like I thought I could get information on a mini-spare that would
work with my car, since I changed the tire size from 14 to 16 inch,
from tire places like Goodyear, etc... Same deal... "you should
contact a Ford dealer..." who in turn told me "find someone who
knows..."

It's getting harder and harder to find places where there is any real
knowledge that isn't spewed out by a computer.
