On the factory tachs what are the RPM red lines for the different 1969 Chevelle engines? I saw one at 6000 RPM and was woundering if the 396 375 HP engine had a higher redline. Thanks

Oh well, thats part of the fun of the old cars. joe Quadzilla Jun 7th, 99, 3:03 PM The "Red-Line" is a factory recomended max shift point... basicly don't go beyond just before the red and you should be okay. ------------------ Francis Taracido Sniper0666@aol.com Proud Patron of Quadzilla | ||
