gauge problems


The guy I bought my car off of put in white face gauges and they were fine except they didnt line up right. I had some time on my hands about a week ago and decided to try to line them up. Before I did this though my speedo would stick at 50 sometimes and stay there until it hit 65-70 and then jump up. After I messed with the gauges and had no success to line them up my rpm gauge now stick at random rpms and will sometimes stay at a certain rpm for awhile even if I rev it or put it in neutral. Can someone help me out?

i myself just put in white face guages. the needle sticking is either one of two things

-the guy put the needles on to tight when he replaced them after puting on the white ones over it

- the white face is rubbing on the needle

both of these happened to me, take it all back apart. Lift up the needle just a slight bit, if you have to use a fork to barely lift it up. this should fix it if the needle was on to tight. the most likely cause is that it is rubbing since its not lined up strait. you need to line it up strait and if you can put a small dot of super glue around the edges since it wont show because the plastic piece covers it.

What is your problem?

If they are the ones from americanmuscle (that slide over the stock gauages) it should be pretty straight forward to hook up.

I did mine in Dec. and if I remember correctly you just splice the + wire into the center gray wire going into your lighting switch (its the largest gray wire out of them), and then ground the - wire to the car. I found a hole in a metal body support welded onto the large (~3-4") metal support tube that runs the width of the body. It's a perfect spot, accepts a 1/4" bolt, and is right behind the insturment cluster. Just crimp on one of those ground things that look like it has a washer attached to it, bolt it to the hole I just described to you. No drilling whatso ever.

Turn on lights to test and set the brightness you want using the built in resister for the white face gauges. Done.
