they should rest at 0 when the key is off... put the gague in and then plug it in without the clear plastic cover... turn the key on and then off again and put the needles in place on the 0... then test it out... you might be off a little but not too much... adjust as needed...

Well you can plug it in without the plastic cover on, so you can put the needles on while the car is on. I don't quite think that it'll work for speedo...maybe tach, but the needle rests on the pin that holds it, it'll be in the 6:00 position otherwise.

Edit:

I told you in THIS THREAD what to do, and how to fix it before...lol:

Are you even listening to anything I'm telling you?
