420G gear ratios

Does anyone know what the gear ratios are for a 1968 four speed manual box (with Laycock Type A overdrive)? I ask as I have just transplanted one into my Series 1 1968 E-type and would be interested to compare the two 'boxes. The 'box works brilliantly, by the way. I had it checked over/rebuilt by Holman Engineering in West Byfleet, who put in new synchromesh, and the overdrive was rebuilt by Homefield Garage in Sutton at Hone (near Dartford). Both did a splendid job and it purrs along at 70 mph at just over 2000 revs.

As far as I know, they are the same ratios as the 1967 on E Type.
