Are the gauges for a 67 BB different from SB car? I’ve read that bigger motor vettes have higher rev tachs and higher oil pressure gauges. Pic of dash I took that is from said 67 427/390. Sorry about the giant pic.
also the base engine 327/300 has its own red line but used the same oil pressure gauge as the L79,L36, and L68 a 60 lb gauge. the L71, L89 and L88 had the highest red line and a 80 lb oil gauge

I believe all C2 big block cars have 80 psi oil pressure gages. All small blocks are 60 psi with the exception of late '63 to '65 mechanical lifter engines, which also have 80 psi gages.
Your photo... 6000 redline, 60 psi oil pressure gage would indicate L-79 unless I'm wrong about the 80 psi gage on hydraulic lifter 427s.

Duke for 66 427/390 they used a 80 lb gauge. But for reasons not known to me in 67 they used a 60lb gauge I don’t know for 68-69 cars

My late (May) 67, which was originally a 390 HP/427 has a 6000 rpm redline and an 80 pound oil gauge.
