Can't find a definitive number.... Brake Ratio

I am going with Wilwood manual brakes and they need to know the pedal ratio on a 1966 chevy c10 so they can match up a master cylinder.
I did the math and came up with 6.2:1 BUT, I have no clue if I did it right or not...


I've searched and searched....... Does anyone have the correct brake pedal ratio NUMBER on these trucks?

And now looking at Wilwoods diagram on how to measure, I come up with 5:1.... So I don't trust my numbers
