Not sure about the tach, but the 60 pound gauge says 60 lbs and the 80 pound gauge says 80 lbs. Both are marked at the bottom and can't be seen until removed from the cluster.

It's easier to just pull the gauge out from the back. Only has 2-3 small sheet metal bolts holding it in.

Re: couple questions about a factory tach and oil preasure gauges
80lb oil pressure gauges only came in C/40 and larger trucks. Unless one was swapped in, or your gauge cluster is from one of those trucks it is going to be a 60 lb gauge

Re: couple questions about a factory tach and oil preasure gauges
Is the tach factory wired? If so I would start at the back of the dash where the wires connect and clean and reinstall plug then do the same on the other end.
If that doesn't fix it then it's more than likely a internal problem.
