you should be able to find a write-up for either a whole gauge install or just the overlays in this website... search " white face"

If you have to take the needles off to install it, mark where the needles are pointed with the engine running, so you have the needles in the right spot. I made the mistake of NOT doing this.

BASICLY you run the car for about 5 min

then make a drawing or whatever just showing where the gauges are while at a nice running temp

also if you dont have a needle puller with your gauges a fork works well if your carful

and i have a set of apc white gauges i can sell ya for cheap
