I've attempted the changeover for my 84...a couple of times.   It's an
involved procedure, what with changing a lot of tiny small wire connections
and messing with various foil connectors behind the cluster and trying to
find the proper year, oil warning systems, resistors, etc.

   I ended up getting an inexpensive small aftermarket tach and using
that...That big old clock still sits in my van, ticking, and sometimes it
even is right...
