A while back I installed glow gauges and it was messing up my rpms.. so I took them off. I put the needles back on the cluster and im not sure the exact position of the rpm needle.

I know its got to be below the 1. (but by how much?).. I know this is a big favour but can someone take a photo of their rpm needle (while the car is in idle)?

Here is a link that I used to match my needle. Mine sits at the same spot...but it looks a little low.

Your car should idle around 800-1000 rpm's will try to get a pic up soon

Mine sits right at 1K. The person who had this car first installed the glow gauges and pulled off all the needles. When I took the gauges off (needles were getting caught on the raised plastic) I had to reset everything. I had to redo the fuel level, speedo, everything :shifty

It sucked.

Most cars idle anywhere from 700-850. 1000 is a little high...
