Think there are two different ratios for the Regal.
Saloon = 4.35:1 Van = 5.14:1
If you have the Saloon one then easiest is fit a complete later Robin, Rialto, Kitten one.

I could be wrong but I don't think the diff from a later style axle will fit the early type.

Larger diameter rear wheels /tyres will raise the gearing but you have to be wary of changes in steering geometry.
Think you need to assertain what ratio diff if fitted and the overall gearing, before changing things.
I am assuming that this is a shaft drive GS1000 and not a chain drive with modified axle.

hiya , it is the gs 100 G shaft drive model , after having last year off due to electric probs, ive had a wiring loom made for it , was out on saturday between 70-80 mph the revs were around the 7,000 mark bit high and drinking fuel , 102 miles then on reserve . at that speeds should be around the 5000 rev mark .
she can pull of from lights in 3rd gear its that low geared , in 1st if u hit the revs the front can come up quite easily without trying or doing itentionaly .

Seems the GS1000g would have had a 3.09:1 final drive. Depending on tyre size fitted it looks like you need at least an 850 std axle (3.23:1) but probably the higher geared 850 B axle would be better (2.78:1).

Good info there from Olds, but finding a "b" isn't easy, go for the lower one and then tweek tyre sizes if you need to?
