I finally got my '66 ragtop on the road and I swapped the 3spd for a 4spd Top Loader. I need to put a speedo cable on but I don't know how to go about determining the "teeth" gear I need. I see choices from 16 - 21 teeth. I don't have an old one to use as reference. Any help would be appreciated!!

We'll need tire size, rear axle ratio, and the number of teeth on the drive gear inside the trans.
