1) Do the gagues require the weight of the needle on them for proper positioning or will the pins turn regardless? Would I be able to turn the key to the on position (not running) so that the temp and fuel gauges would be at a known position and then press the needles on?
2) If I have to get a new cluster(which i'm probably looking at doing anyway now) and get one from a E0 SVT or another '96, would I be able to just plug it in and it will be ok or will it have to be calibrated?
3) If I have to get it calibrated, where would I be able to go to have this done? The stelearship?
Thanks for any help
Edit:
Would this cluster work? It looks like an E0 cluster.
I'll try and answer the questions as best as possible.
1. The needles do not need to be a certain weight. Either one of the needles will work. My guess is that the needles are pressed down too hard or not hard enough. This problem happened to me when I pressed mine down too hard. It was getting stuck onto the face of the gauge. Might be something wrong with your cluster though.
I don't know how you would calibrate the temp and gas needles because I have never removed them before. I have only removed the tach and speedo.
2. Get an E0 cluster. It will (should) work fine. End of story.
3. I don't know of places that would do calibration on this. It is pretty hard to get everything aligned correctly.
And yes, the cluster in the picture is an E0 cluster.
