I have the same rear end/tire set up as Alan.
After a rolling measurement get a requirement of 1113.62 speedo TPM
Because of this issue (and my neurosis about accurate instrumentation ! ),
have just installed a stepper motor style digital speedo. This is a near
exact replica of the original Smiths as fitted to the BJ8 with blue high
beam indication,
same fonts etc. Only major difference is that the ODO/Trip is now a small
LCD; it and needle is driven by a pulse transducer that you install by
cutting the speedo cable; easy to make TPM mods.
Most people don't notice the difference at first glance.
Could post a pix if anyone is interested.

Hi Bob.
For what it's worth I have found that 1152TPM is the closest calibration I
could get to suit the set up on Bluehealey. I have a 3.54 Lempert diff on
overdrive box with 180XAS Michelins. Rolling radius of those I found to be
312mm (12.3").
The set up uses a 32tooth worm wheel and 36 tooth Odo wheel. The displayed
mileage and actual mileage are pretty close and have been checked over a few
hundred miles against a Sat Nav. Error is about 1-2%.
Your tyres will be the only variable with my arrangement.
Speedo calibration is all over the place. I just moved the needle, relative
to the drive cup, until 60mph matches my sat nav display. All other speeds
above and below will be off a margin.
Give me your rolling radius of the tyres and I will be able to provide the
best Turns per mile sett up.
Enjoy.
