Re: [Chevelle-List] Redline - the max?
Also I would like to know, Can you just put a SS Grille on a malibu? or does there need to be some mods? thanks. This 1968 Chevelle SS clone - the only thing wrong is that it has a malibu grille. - Original Message - From: Chad P.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Redline - the max?
4000? I've never seen a redline that low. I shif the 454 in my 70 at 5500, although I know it can handle 6500, but there is no sense taking it that high b/c it's out of it's powerband at that rate. I used to shift the 307 in my 86 Cutlass at 5000, and now that I put the 350 SBC in it, I shift it at 5200. Even the tach in my cousins 88 Monte Carlo with a 305 isn't that low. Tom
Re: [Chevelle-List] Redline - the max?
More than likly, it has something like a Sun Tach in it with an adjustable red line thats set at 4000, have never seen a factory tach with a red line that low!

Re: [Chevelle-List] Redline - the max?
What the 68 come with a diesel ? 4200 redline is way low. is it the factory tach or was it a sun tach with the shift indicator stuck on 4200 ? Larry (z)
Re: [Chevelle-List] Redline - the max?
