First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I should have given more detail...
I got a deal on an OHC sprint 6 and gearbox and am planning to put it in a GMC truck we have. The guy also had a new hood tach. Now I have got it home and looked it is an NPD 6cyl. Hood tach. Before I rip into it will there be a jumper or switch to alter inside to get it run on a V8 (I am guessing not!) For info. It is a blue / black face with 5500 redline. I may have a 6cyl. Hood tach for sale!!

Hi Ed, I believe there is a jumper that has to be added/removed when using the tach on either 6 or 8 cyl when using the after market tachs. 1967 V8 had the tall style tach, black face, green lettering & 5200 red line 1967 OHC = no listing 1968 OHC 6 = blue face 5500 red line 1968 all V8 (except ram air II) = blue face 5100 red line 1969 OHC 6 5500 redline According to my books in 1969 all V8 including ram air IV had a 5100 Red line, a red colored red line and was used up to the first few months of 1970. After that the redline switched to florescent orange and was used through 1972.

Is there a difference other than the redline?
