Need to know tire diameter (in inches) and in what gear are you talking? I'm GUESSING the tires are about 26.25" or so, and assuming you mean overdrive, that puts you about 2300 RPM at 70MPH, according to the calculators here on MW. ;)

Tire diameter is 26.61". The 5th gear ratio is .68. You would be doing 1923 RPM at 60MPH and 2243 RPM at 70 MPH. At 80 MPH, you would be turning 2563 RPM.

WOW! That was a hell of a guess I threw up there! LOL

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile. hehehehehe

Glad we could help you out. Get the tach fixed, that's the best way to tell for sure. ;)
