the wheels are 15" but what diameter tire are you running? there are sites where the gear can be determined but you need to supply tire diameter and the 3.55 gear ratio,

If you know how fare off the actual speedometer is, you can make a tooth adjustment based on 1 tooth = 5 mph +/-.

According to the factory chart with the factory tires and wheels.. a 1975 with the turbo trans would use

Drive gear 8623310
Driven Gear 1362048 40 tooth black.
