Tachometer Conversion, 6 cylinder to 4 200 1977

I recently converted my 1977 264 GL from the old b27f, to a nice bright red b23f, (the old motor sounded like a ticking bomb.) I repaired the igniton and engine harnesses with marine wire, then rebuilt a m46, (new bearings and a first syncho.) And on the virgin run, without a hood, I roared with only headers down the street. I waived to the neighbors, pulled back in the driveway and really reved er, Then the oil filter exploded as oil shot into the sky. After spinning the motor upside down and putting a pump, I put her back together. A week later the clutch bearing went, I put the wrong one, (an old instead of new).

Alas, she runs here and there, My friends and my father said that was the last, before i spent a dime, and the only use for such an old car was for the smelters breath.

So as a fanatic, I wish to enjoy the tachometer - it is set now for a 6 cylinder, mabye there is a way to convert the cluster? This is the cluster with the small tach in the center.
