Tachometer & speedometer help

[Jean B.]

Hi guys
i have this dash pad (driver side) with this speedometer and tachometer
can anyone tell me more about it

would that be right for a 69 vette ?
it as a 5600 rpm Red line
both back cover ...looks to be lite green
it as also a paper tag with ''LG'' stamped on the tachometer
the tachometer look like it as some greenish white numbers
but the speedometer looks it as more like whiter numbers ..would that be right ??

It looks like the unit out of my 69. Others will tell you what motor it was mated with.

Green tinted face numerals were used '68-71 with the white silk screen following for '72 and later. Your copy of the Judging Guide will tell you what red line went with what engine compliment...

A 5600 RPM tach with green letters would be suitable for a '69 427, either 390 or 400HP. A speedo with white letters is for later years as Jack said. The dash pad itself could be for just about any of the earlier C3s except '68.

Micheal
why are you saying ''earlier C3'' do you mean early 69 ??? or early c3s ..meaning 69,70,71 ???

this pad as no stiches along the sides ...so it should only work for 69 ... and 70 and up came with the stiches along sides ....right ??

Thanks
