tach help

i need some help with the stock tach in my 80z28. there is no way that it is readin correct. i really doubt that the motor only revs to 3500. it seems more like it is at 5500rpm. thanks!!

I would suggest changin the part in the distributor that your tach wire hooks up to, not really sure what its called but that may be your problem.

i know that it was voted the worst camaro ever! but it wasnt the z28,it was the base model with the 262 v-8. i have a z28, 4spd, 350 car that is great and was actually built the day i was born. if you want to talk s%&t, go somewhere else!!!fa%&$t!!!!
