Default 1970 LS-5 tach.

What was the redline on the tach for the above combo? 6000rpm?


Thanks
Len

This probably won't help, Len, but my '74 LS-4 has a 5600 redline.

According to the 70-72 NCRS technical information manual all LS5s had 5600 redlines. The base sb engines had 5300 red lines and the -70 L46 (350/350) had a 6000 rpm redline. The LT1s and the -71 LS6 had 6500 red lines except -72 LT1 with AC that had 5600 red line.
