Frankk, The roll tach is the factory tach in 1968. This is the correct tach/gauge package and as far as i know the only tach option you could get in a 68 Chevelle..

Absolutely correct.

Being that the L79 was a hydraulic lifter motor, would it have had a 6K redline on the factory tach?

Bill, there is very limited information on these cars, From what i have found on the internet, the L78 and the L79 engines both had the 6000 redline. But i cannot verify that. The only things i have to go by is a 3/8 fuel line, the tach, it is a 4 speed like all L79 cars.It also has the correct 4 piston disc brakes which is an option on all 68`s. The only other item i see is it has the extra brace on the upper rear control arms like on the cars with the F41 suspension. Thanks
