No EEC, Duraspark.

You have to change the speedo gear:

Speedo gear on the cable to match the tire size and gearing, think stock 85 t5's had the black 6 tooth drive gear if I remember righf? So basically need to figure out what drive gear is in the trans, tire size, rear gear and use one of the online calculators for the Speedo gear. Or swap to a GPS speedo.

This has the 18 tooth driven gear, and the drive is yellow....

Drive gears are only 6 7 or 8 teeth, the gear on the out put shaft on the trans, 18th would be the cable gear. If I remember right, depending on tire size best way to correct for 4.10s is with the black 6tooth drive gear, or deal with it being off and using 23 tooth dodge gears that don't last long, going off memory so might not be exact.

Yes the 23 tooth will be off. As for going out, last time I ran one it went for 150K no problemo

I had a 23 tooth in my AOD and it would last a year or two and then chew the cable gear teeth. The kit linked above should work well.
