The best way I have found to locate redline is put it into first gear, take
off normally then plant the loud pedal. When you see blue smoke and hear a
loud knocking noise under the bonnet, wind the tacho red needle about 500rpm
behind those revs.
And if you believe that you should buy a rotary!!!!!!!!!!!!
