Fuel economy guage
I have removed my Tach gauge from my cluster, and swapped in a fuel economy gauge(vacuum gauge),
My dilemma is, I removed the needle to add the white face gauge labels, and now the needle reads way offscale. Where does the needle sit when the engine is off?

Re: Fuel economy guage
You are the first person that I know of that would take out a tach and add a economy gauge.
I wish I knew the answer to that.But when I did my gauges,I did not take off any of the needles.I soaked the gauge with soapy water and slipped the sticker over the needle.

Re: Fuel economy guage
If you look at the center of the dash,(where the dual a/c vents are) I installed a 5 inch monster tach, so I didn't need the factory ( slower response) tach.

Re: Fuel economy guage
I just put a set of those white gauges on mine. I didnt get them perfect (they are straight, but i have a few light bubbles), but it will work for now, I never thought about soaking them, i just put a little soapy water on the gauges. I'd really like a nice set of Autometer gauges some day. I only did my gauges, not the labels for the fronts like the fuel, volts, temp, clock, I like the look of it that way. I will post pics when I get the dash back together!

Mine isn't hooked to anything, but it's still in the dash. Pinned to the "bad" fuel economy side. Kind of ironic, isn't it?
