Default Re: factory tach

-----Slim,,,The serial # will have something to do with your tach dilemma. I would think that the build date would have to be in December to even consider it. "Red Alert", arguably the most famous LS6 on the planet, absolutely had a low red-line tach in the dash when delivered to Bob Hamilton, the original owner. It was a very early serial# (delivered to the owner Jan. 5th 1970). Had to have been one of the first dozen or couple of dozen delivered. It would even be more probable if your car was Baltimore produced as thats the assembly plant where Red began life. Im not saying that all early, possibly pilot-line cars would have LS5 tachs but clearly one did. The earliest known LS6 belongs to a member of this sight but I dont know what redline the tach in that car had. Dont know the reasons for these anomolies but they exist!!!.........Bill S
