Thanks Jeff. I did find some info showing different ones depending on which side of the transmission the speedo comes out of and this From Ford Motorsport showing different ones for manual and automatic. AFAIK, the 4.56 gears were optional. Seems like 4.10 and 4.56 were the only 2 choices. If 4.10s used the pink 19 tooth, I think I'll go with the black 20 tooth. Thanks again for helping me get this sorted out.

If it were me I'd buy a few gears. Like 19-21. They are only about $6.00 each "retail". You would only make one trip to the dealer and be able to dial in your speedo as close as you can. Plus in the future if you change tire size for some reason you got the gears already. Or buy one and see how far off the speedo is. Each tooth is 3-5 MPH.
But that's just me spendin' other people's money.
