Tyler... another note as well. When putting the adhesive on, you need to make sure that none of it goes where any light transmitence will be, or you will get blotchy spots. Therefore, I reccomend something heavier, not a spray can. I used 3M emblem adhesive... it is heavy, doesn't run, and is easy to direct. If you want me to type a full how-to, using your info (w/ the t-bird stuff replaced by contour stuff), let me know or shoot me a PM, I'd be glad to help out.

It seems the post I made this morning didnt show up 
Anyway, Your gauges, and usually instructions, but since I didnt have instructions for this model there are none, usually the helpful install tips such as the "chroming process" and adding a bulb, the "chroming process" is in this thread, and I did put the add a bulb how to in the packages.
MattR ill be in touch if I need some help.

It will be WAY off and no you can't fix it, or at least not worth the hassle. Buy a 98.5 or newer SVT cluster and do it that way

Assuming he actually meant cluster, he'll be fine with the 160 mph.

Do you have an SVT gauge cluster or not?
I'm not asking what overlays you ordered.

Ordered a "cluster" from where?
If you are talking about the gauges from this group buy, then that was not smart at all. The speedometer is going to be useless to you.
