Don't judge a car by it's tachometer..They made miniscule mistakes like that occasionaly.
Just one example.
Chuck Hansons 1970 L-78 Chevelle cvt. was built with a 5500 redline tach,that was clearly a mistake,when it should've received a 6500.

Alanta Built 70 LS-5 cars are know as having a 5000 rpm tach installed and a lot of them. I personally have seen all kind of tach screw ups from the factory. The best was a 1 owner 70 Monte Carlo 400 small block 2bbl with a 6500 tach. I begged the original owner for years to swap it out and give him money to no avail. They wouldn't stop the line for a wrong redline and the 71 6500 tachs have been spotted in quite a few 71's all over never did a vin study to see what plant.
