Finally got it back down on all 4’s front suspension and brakes back together now to turn it around to pull the rearend and redo all the brake lines

So, the driver door glass objected to trying out the 29.5x10.5 slicks and nitrous that I just wired in and tied to the trans brake button... (hence the wires I have not put in a loom and tucked under the carpet as it's still in the R&D phase).
Guess I will order some new window felts and weatherstriping and hunt for door glass
I put gas in it yesterday, I know my odometer is off either from the gear change, tranmission swap (different speedo gears), or both, it says I drove 80 miles, but only used 1/3 of a tank, but I do know my fuel gauge is accurate. My manual says my car holds 18 gallons, but I've only ever been able to put in 16. I drove the same 1 mile distance (backed up by google maps, was exactly 1 mile distance) in two cars, dad's saturn reads 1 mile, as does google maps. My car reads 1.5 miles in the same distance. If my math is correct (probably not), that means my odo is reading 50% more than a "normal" car. I guess that means if I travel 50 miles in my car, it's actually 25.
SO.
I'm either getting about 15mpg, or 7.5. If it's 7.5, that honestly kinda sucks *ss. It's a bone stock 350 w/ mild cam with a qjet. I'd hope I was at least in the low double digits.
I like this speedometer gear calculator...I put gas in it yesterday, I know my odometer is off either from the gear change, tranmission swap (different speedo gears), or both, it says I drove 80 miles, but only used 1/3 of a tank, but I do know my fuel gauge is accurate.

I've surmised what gear I need, thanks. Good info though, for any who may come across it. TCI has one that's a little bit more in depth and has a chart of common gears.I like this speedometer gear calculator...
