This is not correct. The letter indicates the gear cutting machine that was used to make the gears. This is why the tooth shapes are quite different from each other.spunhub wrote:The K and G designations you see on factory ring and pinion sets stamped in along with the tooth counts tells what type of machine was used to set up or run in the ring and pinion.

Using a .70 4th gear after a 1.26 3rd won't work with any engine. That hole is just too big.woodoctr wrote: I can also go ahead and put a .70 4th in since I've got plenty of torque from 1500 out to about 8200 r.p.m. So I'd have a hot 3 gears around town with the good 4th (around 3280 rpm at 80,
Unless you're thinking of a 5 speed with the extra gear in between.

Re: Ring and Pinion
Well, I ended up going with a 4.12 r & p and a .77 Weddle 4th gear. Spacing of gears with my rotary motor is just about perfect. I am now always in the superchargers powerband so I've got my low end torque but still have that 8000 + rpm headroom to stay in gear when needed. All I can say is, wow, what a difference.....
