Default speedometer drive gear for 3.54 rear end

What is the correct speedometer drive gear tooth count for a 3.54/1 rear end on a 1940 Ford ?

I think 18 teeth. Please double check to make sure.

18 is correct if running 600 x 16s in the rear.

I know you didn't ask but I think Bratton's sells them, both the gear and the housings (which should match the gear).
