Are you sure the air filter bracket isn’t cracked? I believe there’s a reinforced version out there, not sure if it’s legit or works. But if the old bracket shook enough it could have cracked.
I thought around 3000 rpm at 70 was roughly right. I should have looked earlier. It’s been a few years since I’ve routinely drove a w123 with a tach.
