Just bought a nice Autometer tachometer. Before I start digging into the shop manual, I was wondering if anyone knows this offhand.

I wouldn't go more than 4500 but set it a 4000. I believe it was rated at 152 HP at 4000

That sounds like a good plan. I’ll set it for 4000.

My Motors manual says 238 ft. lbs. of torque at a screaming 1400 rpm. Basically, you have a diesel that burns gasoline.
