Assuming it is the original, it should be a 2.84 ratio.

The 84 auto had a final drive of 3.18.

The 2.84 that CowsPatoot referecned is actually the gear ratio for 1st gear in an 84 auto.

Stock Indy tire size was 215/60R14. Is the speedo right? Has someone changed the speedo gear?

VSS speedo gears by tires sizes from the Fiero P22 parts manual. Pages 1-5 4.337 Group.
I combined all the data from all the years into this.

Looks like there are 2 VSS gears for manuals, and 2 for automatics. The drive gears are different, 10 tooth and 35 tooth, so I don't think the VSS gears are interchangeable between automatics and manuals. ie: using a RED gear in an automatic won't work.

MD9 TH125C Automatics will have the large GREEN 10 tooth drive gear.
The smaller VSS speedo gear will be:
BLUE 30 tooth - tire sizes P185/80R13, P185/75R14, P195/70R14, P215/60R15
WHITE 31 tooth - tire size P215/60R14


MG2 Muncie/Getrag 5-speed transmissions will have a NATURAL (tan) 35 tooth drive gear.
The smaller VSS speedo gear will be:
RED 29 tooth - tires sizes P185/80R13, P185/75R14, P195/70R14, P215/60R15
PURPLE 30 tooth - tires sizes P215/60R14

M17 Muncie 4-speed transmissions will have a NATURAL (tan) 35 tooth drive gear.
The smaller VSS speedo gear will be:
RED 29 tooth - tires sizes P185/80R13, P185/75R14, P195/70R14, P215/60R15
PURPLE 30 tooth - tires sizes P215/60R14

MT2 Isuzu (?) 5-speed transmissions will have a 35 tooth drive gear (color unknown).
The smaller VSS speedo gear will be:
RED 29 tooth - tires sizes P185/80R13, P185/75R14, P195/70R14, P215/60R15
PURPLE 30 tooth - tires sizes P215/60R14
