396 4 speed 70 Monte


Recommended Posts

The build sheet does show it as a 400 4-speed and the engine code CKR breaks down as a 400.  It being a factory 400 4-speed does make it a desirable car, especially if it is a numbers matching Monte.

I wanna say no. But I don’t believe the redline is factory. Lol. 

My tach is after market and looks exactly like this cars tach.... I wanted to put it on the left but that would have required major surgery on the gage circuit panel … That was above my skill levels, so I put it in the old clock position …

The TACH came as the gage package which replaced the idiot lights.  If you look at his TACH you will see that it was added and the clock removed because the hole for the clock adjustment stem is still there.

Thanks Rob, I didn't notice that… Mine has the hole from the clock stem as well… I managed to find a small rubber grommet that fits perfectly. Keeps the dust out .… I'd wager that if this car were stock it would have the factory gage package….

The factory redline for a small block was 5k and a big block 5500. It is known that the tachs did get mixed up at times and the correct position is to the left where the big gas gauge is/ would have been.
