i have a question regarding the needles on a nr gauge install. When I mark the positions of the needles do i do it when the car is off? do I do it when the car is warmed up or cold? It will probably be warmed up when i begin and cold when I restart car. Any help would be appreciated.

I had my car warm when I did mine. And I think the marks I went off of was with the car running.

ok, but when it's running my temperature gauge fluctuates greatly depending on how long running, as does oil psi.

let it warm up at idle. it shouldnt fluctuate that much.

Do it when it's warm and at idle. Also make note of your RPM and speed at like 55mph or an easy number to remember. It also helps if you have a full tank of gas. When I did a gauge face in my Sonoma I made sure I took pictures of it while it was running at idle and wrote down the RPM and speed so I could make sure I got the needles back on in the right places.

Why buy the kits that make you remove the needles??? Macewen white face gauges w/ the bezel are great. Simple install, and can be removed no sweat.. Camaro guys, while your gauge is out, change your lighting!!! 4-bulbed LEDs look AWESOME!
