302 redline??
I'm hoping I posted this in the right section.
I'm thinking of getting my dad a tachometer for his 1967 F-100 for christmas.
We replaced the I6 with a 302 crate motor a few years ago and never put a tach on it. The internals are all stock with a Edelbrock 650cfm carb, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and Ford racing headers. It is backed by an AOD. I seen someplaces that redline is 5000 and some say 5500 or 4750. Does anyone have any input?
Thanks and Merry Christmas.

I would say 5000-5500 to just be on the safe side. Many, many late model 302's in mustangs(back in the 80-90's) had 6250 for a factory rev limiter.
For something kinda stock, it likely is not making enough HP at 6000 to turn it that hard.
Just my .02
