Hey, I made the mistake of taking off my needles when putting on my indiglo guages and am having a difficult time readjusting the tachometer and the speedometer. Where does your tach idle when you turn your car on, or where should it idle rather, and how can I accurately readjust the speedometer??? confused.gif Thus far I've gone from 40 mph over to 10 mph over, so I'm still working on it. Thanks guys and gals. biggrin.gif

This is what I did... but not a very safe way of doing it...

hey man, thanks a lot. That will be a little difficult though and I'm not yet too familiar with engine types and numbers, but I have a '94 ST so I'm not sure if it's the same but your redline speeds sound about the same as mine, so I'll have to try it. Thanks a lot man.
