Re: 1969 nova ss
A 5500 redline tach would be from an L78 396/375HP car.. This being an L34 396/350HP car should have/probably had a 5000 redline tach....

Re: 1969 nova ss
Wilma, I thought they were 4500 for L48, 5000 for the L34 & 5500 for the L78 but I could be wrong..

This is a picture of a Nova Big Block Tachometer:
This tachometer has a 5000 RPM red line. This tachometer was used on the 396 / 350 HP big block V8 cars.

Re: 1969 nova ss
I believe all L78's had the 6000 redline only.
