Default 69 GP 428 Hood Tach Questions

I am beginning the process of "restoring" a '69 with a non-HO 428 automatic and want to add a hood tach. Looking at the selection on Ames, among other places, they have tachs with a 5200 redline and a 5500 redline. Which should I get?

Does anyone have a template of where to place this?

Thanks in advance.

Default 5200 redline would be correct

Pretty sure that ALL the 428s and all the 400s except the RAIV got the 5200 redline.
