im back... but now weird fact tach issue

well now that school is out, I finally hve a little more time to work on my truck than on my kids' grades... SO I went out to hook up my fact tach cluster (74 c70 tach/vac) and using the fact harness, plugges everything up and the tach reads backwards... to explain, it idles at a beautiful 4200 RPM and revs counterclockwise perfect!!! i know... weird... so i took a tach out of one of my other clusters (79 standard tach) and plugged into same harness and that one works fine.. idles 800, yadayadayada... since i have yet to find another 73-75 tach with the fuel gauge (which works by the way) i almost hate to switch any coil, 12V, or ground connections for fear of REALLY toasting the tach... any electronic gurus out there, i know i saw a post ott one time about someone changing the tach calibration to read 0-8000 RPM, and i wonder if that person or people understands the electronic stuff of the tach.. I did have two semesters of electonics in undergrad, but i dont seem to have any old notes pertaining to tach operation... any suggestions???? crossy or jeff???
