I just got my new gauge overlay and it replaces the stock overlay. I need to pull the needles off, however, I don't know what to do to get them back in the correct position. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
start car and let it get to operating temp. Take pic of gages.
You could always reassemble the car, get it running, take a pic of the stock cluster, then pull it out to do the overlay. It comes out pretty easy, you should be able to knock it out in an hour or two.
the stock gauges short of the speedo/tach are just idiot sticks at best. so fill up your gas tank and let the car idle to normal operating temp and then stick the needles were you want to see them at normal operating temp.
That's what it looks like I will be doing. I just wasn't sure if there was a way to calibrate them outside the car.
