Is my stock tach messed up....It still pulls @6500rpm's

Dark_5.0 · 01-14-2002, 01:09 PM

I have been wanting to get a good tach with a shift light but I have been spending my money on high performance parts.

My car still pulls at 6500rpm's I dont know if my stock tach doesnt read right or if I am really making power that high up in the power band?

Stock rev limiter kicks in at 6250rpm. The stock tach is off. I have a brand new autometer 5" tach with shift light for sale, they are $200+ new, I will make you a good deal on it if you want it.

It's a 5" Autometer Phantom(white faced)Tach with a shift light $160 shipped(I paid like $210). It's brand new never used.

The stock gauges are notorious for being off in the higher RPM's.
