Gauge Overlays

[fisdad]

So I tried to install my overlays that I got from Papa Rad17 part out last night... They looked okay I guess, but I took off the gauge needles to lay down the overlays. Now my car thinks that it idles at 0 RPM's and the speedo registers 10 when I'm going 25-30 and my car seems to think it's warm when it's cold and over full when it should be around 3/4 of a tank.

After 3 attempts to correct the problem I think I got it fixed.

I took the gauges apart and plugged in the unit into the dash where I could access the needles. I started the car and carefully placed the tach needle around 900-1000 RPM's as the car idled.

I placed the speedo needle right on 0 but not laying on the bar.

I placed the gas needle about 3/4 of a tank. I'd rather it read a bit low than high.

And I warmed up my car and placed the temp needle where it normally is when running at just under the mid way point.

While driving the cluster seems to be working fine again. I figured I'd put this up for people to laugh at or maybe there is some other dummy like me out there who caused the same problem.

I gave up on the overlays and bezel so if any of you want them please let me know and I will send them your way cheap.
