Depends on what your rearend gear ratio is. Guessing your using original sized (or close) diameter tires

Download your own copy of the 75 MPC from http://squarebirds.org/Manuals/1965/1965-72FordPartsTextCatalog/
It's what I would use to determine the answer.

Actually, I put 15's for tires on the car.  I appreciate the help though and will get it right with tire size and rear end gear ratio :)
