Excellent question - I do not know as he has no tach (!). Stock tranny as
far as I know, so it is probably winding her right up there. This is not
something that he does regularly. The Bus is currently off the road awaiting
restoration, so  I have no means of checking.


 Nice installation of the 6 - will it fit and are there kits for the Vanagon
I wonder?
