This tach came with a 65 Biscayne I bought several years ago and recently someone mentioned they thought it wasn't original,

It could be for an L78 car. Is there a part number anywhere on it? It would probably be an ink stamp.

ink stamp on back reads: 6412295

Ok, that's interesting, my parts book doesn't list it! Close, but not that number. Are you sure the last number is a "5"?

That's one of the ones in my parts book. Sometimes they don't hit that stamp square on and parts of a number may not be what they seem. There are 2 possibilities. It just depends on if it had transistor ignition.

#6412236- (396, 409)(H/Per., Sp. H/Per., w/4-SPD.)(exc.T/Ign.)
#6412293- (4-SPD. w/T. Ign.)(H/Per., Sp. H/Per.) (396, 409)

It would help to see a picture of the part number to see how evenly it was stamped.
