The B21F cars equipped with K-Jet had a suggested redline of 6500RPM, but there was nothing in place to keep you from going right past that. I'm not sure if the B21F MPG cars ('82 B21s with LH-Jet) had a 6K or 6500 redline. But for certain, all the 2.3L motors had a 6K RPM redline, and a very hard limiter that cuts the engine if you try to exceed that. It varies, in my experience, depending on the exact version of LH you have, between 5800 and 6200 RPM.

Because these cars have been around so long, tachs and clocks have been swapped around, and you're never quite sure what you'll find in any particular 240.
