Default 4.10 speedometer speeds

ok guys, i probably should have searched the old threads but i didnt, so dont hate on me, but my question is, i had my tranny rebuilt. it has a 2800 stahl, a Lentech manual valve body with a push button overdrive. in the rear it has 4.10 gears. my speedometer doesnt work because its ripped just below the engine compartment. so my question is when im rolling down the interstate in overdrive, running about 3 grand, what is my most likely speed. and once i get my speedo fixed, i probably wont get the calibration gear, just the cable, so what will my speedo read while at the same speed? thanks guys.

by the way if anyone knows for sure of the right speeds, then if you can give me a slight chart of what the speed to rpm ratio is would also be great.

pace yourself with the slow lane, where most drive close to the speed limit

If you have a gps you can use that to track your speed.

Use the calculator. It'll tell you everything you need to know.
