A subject of continual debate, but as it was raised in the X code thread thought I'd start a new one...
From what I've seen/heard the 6k was '67, or used on '68 6 bangers. Some Ford docs show the 6k on the 6 as an option, others note tach avalable on 8 cyl only. So even Ford is confused on it...
My '68 S GT has a 120mph speedo and 8k tach. Factory.
The 140mph appears mostly on Shelby's. Most docs I have seen and pics of older cars show a 120/8k for the most part in '68 Mustangs...
Anecdotal, but this subject has been debated at length on many forums and I have seen no 100% clear-cut answer...
My personal belief is 120/8k was standard in '68 with the 140mph only on Shelby's.
The 8k tach should be paired with the 140 MPH speedometer. The 6k tach with the 120 MPH speedo. I have an 8k with the 120 mph in Val's Fastback.
