911S Engine Question

[villeza]

Assuming my Car is all Original, If it Came equipped with an "S" Tach Redlining at 7300RPM. Can I assume my engine is an "S"?

No. Post your engine serial & type numbers and we can tell you what it is.
L had S equipment minus the S engine.

Villeza,

As I remember from looking at that photo of yours on Ebay of the complete dash, you seemed to have a mis-mash of instuments. At least one (the speedo ?) was an earlier 1967 - prior type of guage (the face is differant).

I would not necessarily rely on gauges as to the original market spec. build of your car, if that's what you are. As far as I know , a 68MY L model (whatever market) did not come with a 7300 redline tach. That's why I suggested you look for a date. Same with your speedo , but it should be the same look as your Tach in general (I remmeber, that was 1968 - later design), as far as face design.

There is always the chance that some super early 1968 MY cars , got built with 1967 style gauges . But it would have to be some of the VERY first cars for that possibility.

Someone else can chime in as to what is the correct readline for a standard 68 L , but I believe 6800.

[villeza]

My speedo is stamped 2.65 and Tach stamped 7.67
Only way to know for sure is to tear down my Engine.

What does the engine type stamp on the case, next to the engine serial number# say?

engine type stamp 901/06 10261

That appears consistant with a '68 911L.
