recalibrating 96-98 gauges

[danielson631]

i pulled the needles off to do something, and i now have to recalibrate my gauges.

when i put them back on, they were all pretty off.

i pulled the needles back off, turned the car on, and stuck them on where i thought they should be, lol.

idle was always about 1k so thats where i set it, gas tank was about half full, speedo never really worked, oil pressure seems a little high, and water temp seems fine.

anyways i was wondering how do you go about recalibrating all of the gauges? tried to search everywhere but came up with nothing.

tip dont start the car and just turn the key on leave speedo as far down as you can get it ,leave rpms at 0,set all other gauges where you think they should be 2 spoons work best for getting them off good luck it shoul work it worked for me.

You should always take pics with the car off and at idle...

i did take pics before and at idle and i also remembered where they usually are.

my rpm gauge is fine now, gas gauge ill just wait until i fill up and put it where it usually sits (1/4 after the F), temp seems normal, the volts and oil pressure seem a little high but im not worried about them too much

i was just wondering if there was a way to have them proffesionally recalibrated, althought i wont really be needed to do so. just wanted to know for future reference

Not really... You gonna buy my N20 kit?

not sure if i replied to the PM, i thought i did but i hate how things dont automaticly save to the outbox.

still a little out of my price range. you have plenty of goodies with that kit, some i wont even really need.

and im still stuck on what i should do next.

-nitrous kit
-gears and D.R.'s
-suspension
-or just start saving for a kenne bell.
