you need to turn the car off. put all the needles at "0"

then take the car to the gas station, fill it up, and put the gas one at "full"

when driving the car home, see if things line up better.... the battery, oil pressure, temp should all be near the middle of the gauges. the gas should be at "F" and the speedo will have to be checked with a second car. The tach is the only MAJOR PITA

if you know what your car idles at, at warm, then thats not much of a problem. i wouldnt calibrate my needles while the car is still warming up.

get a digital reader (SCT Livewire for example) and it will tell you your RPMs. plug it in, turn it on, place the needle, you are good to go.... ill sell you my SCT livewire for $400.00..... :-D lol.
