Back in the day the first thing we would look at in an interesting car was the tach redline.

Following from memory so correction appreciated.

Pontiac V8s mostly had a 5200 redline, OHC-6 was higher (230 was higher than a 250). Synapse is firing about a higher redline for a RA II (5500) and SD (5750). 303 and RA V prolly higher also but never in a production car.

Late emissions cars were redlined below 5k (4850 ?) I do not know of any US Pontiac that relined at 5k (Some Canadians had Chevvies). Have no idea what the one is the cluster is from. Under the blue cover should be a round ceramic circuit board. If the capacitor is a .33 than it is for a V8.

Sorry accidentally posted in rong thread.
