John Calcon Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 I have a 4.1 to 1 gear ratio. My car is a 1949 Buick Super with Dynaflow tranny. If there is any source for ring & pinion set please let me know. Located in Santa Cruz, California. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Do not know of any at a reasonable price. The high speed ratio are very popular, and have seen them sold at top $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critterpainter Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Your best bet might be getting lucky with a parts car. 52-53 Buck Special 2 doors often have a high speed rear end in them as they were marketed by Buick back in the day as salesman's cars and were advertised to get good economy.
