Speedometer matching

Gentlemen,
I have a '96 F350 (7.3 Diesel with manual transmission, the rear is a 4.10:1 but the wheels have been changed) .. I want to do a custom instrument panel and use a Stewart Warner (Wings series) electric speedometer .. does anyone know the pulse count per mile or revolution for the original set up .. it will give me a place to start with synchronizing .. Alternatively any thoughts on the GPS units that don't require one to know the wheel revolutions per mile etc. Thanks in advance

There are 120 pulses per revolution of the rear axle.
Pulse count per mile would depend on the tire size.

Thanks Bill,
Tire mfgr says 646 revs/mile so I guess I can figure out the rest ...
