first = 2.97, 2nd = 2.07, 3rd = 1.43. 4th = 1.00, 5th = .71, 6th = .57
Anyone know how to do the math for the final drive ratio?

Depends on what you mean by "final drive ratio". The axle ratio is 3.42:1. If you want to know the overall reduction ratio from the engine to the wheels in each gear, multiply the transmission ratio by the axle ratio.
If you want to know the speed in gears or draw a gear chart, the rear tire revs per mile are 769, so in fourth gear at 60 MPH the engine revs are 3.42(769) = 2972. Every other speed in and gear at any revs can be detemined by liner proportioning.
