hey guys, I pulled off my needles on my gauges and now they are all messed up, does anyone know how to reset the to stock position?

 

Hah, why did you pull them out? There's really no way to put them back exactly.

Which needles did you pull off? All of them?

Ghetto way:
1. Gas.....fill up and put it on on the Full line.
2. Temp....when it's cold, put it on the C line, or a little below.
3. Speedo/RPM....I have no idea

Real way:
Take it to the dealer and have it fixed the right way. Will cost you a bit.

 

anyone got any other suggestions>?

There won't be any. Those are your only options.

 

no idea on how youre goin to get those things accurate or even close to it. buy a new guage assembly.

 

I got the rpms and the gas needles on , the temp is a little off, and the speedo may be a tad off, i didnt know if there was an exact way to fix it

 

something similar happend to a friend of mine.. the mechanic put it on a dyno and fixed it that way some how..

 

This happened to one of my tegs. The speedo got stock. After several attempts I got it really close by just putting it on at a certain point drive around the block. When it looked close I had a friend drive next to from a stop like to 50-60 and just compare how fast he's going to what the speedo says.

yeah, the first time i put my speed needle on there when i started the car id be sitting still and it would say i was going 40mph so i just kept adjusting it and have my dad drive at a fixed speed and figure out how fast i was going, i didnt take off any but the speed one so i cant really say about the others, but its just trial and error pretty much, actually right now my speedometer says im going 5mph faster than i really am, i left it like that, figured it might keep me out of a little trouble

 

the earlier posts pretty much explain it......

 

yeah i did that same thing when i was putting my EL guages faces on it sucks i knocked the speedo needle and i didnt realise till i was driving the next day said i was going was like 20kmph off sucked..

got it fixed by mechanic on dyno not to expensive
hood luck
