350 with Hood Tach for 1969
Short answer: The 1969 hood-mounted tach was UPC U85 (column code 471), listed “N.A. with 322” — the Trans Am package. So it could be ordered on essentially any 1969 Firebird except the T/A, because the T/A already included it (you didn’t order it separately).
Thomas DeMauro’s “Firebird Decoding Guide 1967–1981” lists the code as UB5 with no T/A restriction — likely a misprint in one of the sources. The T/A exclusion makes sense given the hood design.
