Speedo gears for 700r4

My dad has a 1968 Camaro with a 454, 700r4, and 12 bolt rear with 4.56 gears with a 255/60/15 (27.05in) tire out back. I have gone through numerous speedometer gear calculators and most of them say I am SOL for that gear/tire combo with getting it to read correctly. One website suggested a 19 tooth drive gear and a 34 tooth driven gear. Those ratios were purchased and it was still off. Reading further into things it looks like anything with a 700r4 and over 3.73 ratios is gonna be off without going with a taller tire.

So I have come to the NJFBOA knowledge base looking for suggestions to resolve this and keep the current tires and not convert to a electric speedometer.

Thanks for your help.
