First off, are you sure you don't have a 6 cylinder tach instead of a V8? There should be an ink stamp on the back of the tach that tells. You might be able to see it with a mirror and a good light.

There are also part numbers for each. This was posted by Member Ray Mcavoy:

GM #6468321 is for the 6cyl gas engine tach.
GM #6468228 is for the 8cyl gas engine tach (except medium duty trucks with transistor ignition).
GM #6468320 is for the 8cyl gas engine tach with transistor ignition.

All of the stock ones I have used have been pretty acurate with the HEI.
