Haha, I had posted something helpful, but I've decided it's not worth it.

Here's the answer you may want, but not want to hear.
I went thru this detail with my soon to be done guage swap.
WHAT I HAD TO DO, TO MAKE MY TACH READ CORRECT, is go get another guage package, specifically for the V-6 application. Then allit was was swap of three 1/4" nuts, swap tach circuit boards then I was done with my V-8 to V-6 tach conversion.
NOW, ask me about swapping internal guts of the V-8 oil pressure gauge for the V-6 oil pressure gauge.
Yep, they're different, too!
I wonder what the funny answer responses could have been?
