Tach Redline

Did any Camaro 82-90 have a Tach with a warning
at 5500/6000 and Redline at 6000 RPM's?? Any
V-6's rev that high?? Any info would help.

By a warning do you mean the yellow line?
Check the V6 cars they rev about 1000rpm higher than the V8's.

84' T/A 305HO. My friend's did. That's the only one I've ever seen. It could have had a V6 gauge cluster in it though. The car was 14 years old when he bought it, so anything is possible.

My 86 TA does, and so did my 85. I'd take a look at 84-85 Z28's, HO or TPI cars, maybe some 86's, and possibly the 90-92's with the TPI and stick may have it.

ok this applies to the 85-89 for sure,
the only camaros with a 5500 yellow 6000 red are the v6 camaros, my 87 iroc listed in sig. has the yellow 5000 red 5500, i dont beleive any camaros other than the stick cars(305 with the L98 cam) got the 5500 rpm redline all the other TPI auto cars i have seen like my buds 86 iroc have the 4500 yellow 5000 red.the L98`s probably have the 5kyellow, 55k red.. but i am not sure

so CAMARO6SPD you might want to double check your gauges and if it is a 6k redline, its from a v6.
when my new motor is done, i am going to have to get a 6k tach from a v6
