3208 NA rpm - Gardner Yeaw - 12-11-2006 13:58 What is the top rpm of a 3208 NA in a Bluebird. My '78 peaks about 25 or 2600. I can put the trany in 3rd and take it to the top speed and it stops at 2500 and doesn't shift, so the trans doesn't register an over speed. Is this normal, or is the high idle or throttle linkage in need of adjustment? I thought the top RPM was closer to 3000. Gardner 78FC33 3208 NA rpm - Mike Hohnstein - 12-11-2006 14:49 3050 is enough for a NA. Low side of the scale is 1900, it will live longer if you cruise at 2400/2600. Some will say it's OK to run on the governor, but it ain't so. Valves tend to fall into the cylinders. You need to verify the throttle is all the way open, don't sound like it is.

You should have a couple of hundred more rpm's somwhere.
