What speedo gear would be the proper one for my Charger. I have a 727 to a 2.45 rear and 255/60-15 tires. The one I have now is way off.

Try going on ebay theres a guy that sells pinion gears, type in (speedometer pinion gears mopar) he also has a chart to find out what gear you need.
68 Charger, slowly in the works, 451 c.i. approx. 535 hp @ the flywheel, so far best time in the 1/4
11.21 @ 119 mph, full exhaust, stock suspension, 4:10s @ 3640 pounds.

My only problem with that is the chart only goes down to 2.76 rear gears not 2.45.
Edit- From extending the Chart it seems that I would need about a 25 or 24 tooth gear.

  Make sure you have the right housing for that gear. Typical housings only work with 26-45 tooth gears.
If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.
