Hi-I understand early 1965 L79s had used a 5500 redline tach. What's the latest the 5500 redline tach was used? I'm looking at a Novmember '64 production car with a matching #s L79 that has an original 5500 redline tach. Would this have been possible? Many thanks in advance.
Can't they just be corvettes without the L76, L82, L88 ? This is a hobby. Most of us are just looking for parts to keep them running You need to be in NCRS where bolt heads are authenticed.

Bah hum bug..
If you believe the car to be original and the tach too then I'm sure it could be possible. Someone with more knowledge in early 65's would have to validate that it could have happened.

Believe it or not, it is a hobby to the folks who belong to NCRS, too. I belong to both sites and my employment does not revolve around the Corvette service industry.
But you are correct in that the answer to this question is most likely found in the 1965 NCRS judging manual.
And in keeping with the holiday spirit: if you don't like the topic, then ignore it instead of trying to stir crap up.

What would have been a more appropriate way for this guy to ask his question, as to not ruffle your feathers?

I really like the Search Function on this forum.
I was thinking of asking the exact same question as this 10-year-old thread.
In the prior posts, it appears the end of the "early L79 cars" in 1965 (with the lower tach redline of 5300 RPM) was made somewhere between November 1964 and Dec 28, 1964.
My brother has a 65 L-79 and it had the low rpm redline. We changed it years ago to the higher only to find out we made a mistake. This was years ago but his car was a serial #3000 car built in November 64. he still has the lower rpm face and it may go back in someday.
