85 300SD Tachometer Signal

Hi everyone, with the car running and driving much better now, my focus has turned to the electrical problems, starting with the tachometer. My SD has an 81-84 engine swapped into an 85 chassis. As far as I'm aware these use different pickups for the tachometer signal (on the crank pulley for 81-84 and on the bellhousing for 85). The tachometer amplifier/diagnostic port is still present. Has anyone been able to adapt the earlier tachometer to work on an 85 car? I assume some signal processing would have to be done as there's only one reluctor pin on the crank vs many teeth on the flywheel.
