Was the 6AL new? Someone may have cut the jumpers (red and blue) under the black plug to set it to four cylinders. That would explain the 3500 cutout with a 7000 pill.

never thought of that, makes sense though, change wiring for 1/2 cyl, gives you 1/2 the rpms with twice the cylinders... but i dunno
