For reference on tire size to speed:
On our '67 (which has 9x20 tires) when we were on the way back from recovering it, the speedo was averaging around 48-52mph on flat ground (at around 2000-2400rpm). My wife who was the chase car said that I was averaging around 50-55mph according to the...
I should add that's keeping the RPM's at safe sustained levels. Also, download a speedometer app on your phone and check it with that. These speedometers aren't the most accurate in the world.
