I wish I had a spare but that one is on my motor. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Notice the strange incorrect Tach that is a 5000 redline setting, should be a 5500 red line Tach For the Big Block LS5 but this is not first time I have seen Chevrolet incorrectly install a Tachometer in a Big Block car with a small block Tach. You could order this gauge package for a Malibu and get the 5000 red line tach so it did happen a few times that Chevrolet made a mistake with the tach.

Just realized that box 72 &quot;Tach&quot; on the build sheet has 938 which is the 5000 Red line Tach, I usually see this on Atlanta built cars but interesting to see one on a Baltimore built LS5. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Here is the breakdown on the box 72 &quot;Tach&quot; on a 1970 Chevelle build sheet. 935=5000 Red line, 983=5500 Red Line and 985=6500 Red Line.

Correct codes are 938=5000 Red Line, 983=6500 Red line and 985=5500 Red line.

Thank You Jim for pointing that out. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

It's it supposed to be yellow first and then the orange/red on the tach? Why is it orange/red then yellow..?

Good eye and question?
Here is a photo of an original 5000 red line tach and 5500 red line tach and one taken from my original LS6 with the 6500 red line.

They all show the yellow first than red/orange

To me it looks like it's all orange in that section, it's just the sunlight hitting the higher RPM section and the shadow of the steering wheel making the lower RPM orange part look darker?
