    Your car came with H78/14s on it. That was what was on my 72. My 69.5 had C78/14s on it. Hope that helps.

    Remember that with an automatic transmission your speed is dependent on load. If you are climbing a hill then your speed will be lower compared to RPM than if you are coasting down a hill at the same RPM. RPM and speed can be off by as much as 50% with an automatic transmission but it is generally less than 1500 RPM - at any given speed.
