Speedometer correction issue

Hi Guys! I was on the phone yesterday with a long time friend who owns a 1988 IrocZ 5.0 He decided to swap out the rear end a couple years ago. He had std rear end which I beleive would have been a mid 2's ratio (he has an automatic transmision)

He now installed a rear end out of a 5 speed car & I believe he said its a 3.42 ratio. Anybody know what speedo gear he needs in the transmision to correct the speedometer? Or do we need to know whats in there now first?

Thanks for your thoughts!

The stickies at the top of the Drivetrain forum may be useful.
