Will a 68 GTO hood tach fit a 68 Firebird hood?...Are the mounting holes on the hood the same for 68 GTO's and 68 Firebird's?...Also, what would the correct rpm red line be for the 350?
I believe you will want a 5200 RPM tach, the 5500 was for the ram air engines I believe. The other issue is 67/68/69 had slightly different units, both background color and overall height.
My 68 project Firebird with the standard hood has the cutout for a hood tach but the tach was not included. I don't know if the cutout was done by the factory or the dealership, but it does look professionally done and I just need to know if the mounting holes are the same for the GTO and Firebird hoods. I don't have alot of cash but I noticed that Original Parts Group has the GTO hood tach's the cheapest @ $189.95 It doesn't matter to me if it's not 100% correct, as long as it fits in the hood without any mods.
As you mentioned... a 68 GTO Hood Tach "should" fit a 68 Firebird hood tach hole... I would think? Again as long as it's apples to apples type of thing. So any of the V8 GTO hood tachs "should" work...
