tachometer adjustment screw?

Hey guys, am I missing something. I installed the instrument cluster on the weekend, but couldn't find or figure how to adjust the tach. The cluster came from a v-6 and my 4runner is 4cyl. Previous posts said there was a screw underneath the fascia that would allow me to recalibrate but I can't seem to find it. Any thoughts? The engine is screaming but only registars 2000 rmp. Quite a sight.

Maybe this will help. I can't see the pictures at work but this is the write up I looked at before I did my gauge install.

You don't have to take the tach face apart to get at it, just remove the speedo head and use a phillips head from the side. See:

He's adjusting the tachometer (adjusting a V6 cluster to a 4cyl I assume), not the speedometer - the only cable driven tachs I've ever seen are on old motorcycles
