Question Where to get speedo gears for 2.73 rear gear ratio?

my '88 lx 5.0 vert's speedometer gear just disintegrated (auto w/ 2.73). I can't seem to find anywhere that offers that same speedo gear to replace it. I have heard several responses ranging from it not being made anymore to it is on backorder. All I wanna know is what part I need and where I can get it. If it isn't manufactured anymore, then is there a different part that works? Please help!!!

Look on your door tag for gears.
M=2.73
Z=3.08
E=3.27
You can get your Speedometer gear at www.50resto.com .

'88 w/ 2.73 calls for a 15T gear. No such animal. 16T will get you close. Part number D0AZ-17271-A.

All this trouble for a speedo gear, sounds like a good excuse to spend of few more dollars and get a lower set of gears.

I love it when upgradeable parts break.
