Ok, so I know you have to use the same Tachometer that the engine originally used, 2.0 with 2.0, 2.2. with 2.2 and so on.
Having a bunch of Tachometers laying around and not knowing which goes where, how do i tell the difference? |

Look for one with a 6300 RPM redline (2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.7) ... and on the back it will say 6 Zyl. Of course you can go for an early with a 7K redline (S tach) and fool your friends.
And if all else fails, I'll find my 7K tach and offer you my 6.3K tach that's in the Grey Ghost. |

Thanks for the help so far guys!
I have a 77' S engine that is bored out to 2.9. I think I have the right tach, but I want to make sure and not mess anything up. Will the boring out affect my redline? |

That being said, if the larger pistons are heavier than the original, I'd back it off a bit, but usually it is more about mean piston speed and valve train. |
