Correct M20 Speedometer Gear?

When I bought my 67 it was after a frame off restoration was done. When I got it the rear ratio gears were 4.98:1 !!!! So the first thing I did was put a reasonable drive-able gear set 3.07:1 back in the car and installed a new POSI unit while it was out.  But the speedometer has always been off and slow. At 65mph by the GPS it says I am doing 50mph. As these gears are $20-35 each and there are several of them it could be. I don't want to buy a lot of gears just to sit in a box and unusable. SO this question is. Does anyone know what gear they may have in the transmission to put the speedometer back to a true reading with the same setup I have or "Close"

Dave,

With GPS showing 65 mph the speedometer shows 50 mph?

Which driven gear are you running now?

I will try to do some checking for you later today.
