its real easy. make a reference mark on your tire, and then one on your pinion yoke. spin the tire ONE revolution, and count how many times the pinion yoke turned.

2-3/4 turns equals 2.73 gears.
3 turns equals 3.08 gears.
3-1/4 turns equals 3.27 gears.
3-1/2 equals 3.55 gears.
and so on....

FIRST set of numbers on the SECOND line is the ratio... Often the first numeral is mostly covered by the bolt head...


I don't have a set of '85 Shop Manuals, but in '86 462B is a 3.08...
