guage trouble

Post by exiledlanos »

I just installed new guages... The dash was the easy part... Now the speedometer will either read 40 while not moving, or it wont work at all...

I need to know what to do to get them set the right way

thanks

2 different ways to recalibrate-warning its a mission

Post by damian007vk »

2 different ways u can recalibrate....both ways are a mission......
1st way- find an empty 2 lane desserted road or strip. U will need a friend to drive side by side with you.....then u guys agree on a particular speed,,,let's say 25.......u guys drive side by side at the same speed, and when u guys are going 25 he yells it out, and another person (or if your brave and have steady hands) then places your speedo needle at 25....2nd way-..another way is to drive in reverse like for 40 feet and then just place the speedo at 0 mph. It will probably take several attempts.......but this is the way I did mine with my friend vince, and my gauges are very accurate only off my about 2-3 mph
