What was the stock redline on a 1970 454/390 tachometer? Orange line?

Jug, Two of my vettes had that engine, but i will be damned if i can remember exactly. Thinking 5500....maybe 56. I never paid much attention cause the stock cam, pistons and valve train were long gone. I will look when I get home if no one has answered by then

Orange starts at 5300. Red at 5600.

Orange starts at 5300. Red at 5600.

So I guess that means when I hit the rev limiter at 7500 I went too far?

The clutch sticks to the floor at 8000. Reason for the rev limiter AND the scattershield.:hunter:

And it gets there really fast too.
