Ugh. Messed my Fuel Gauge needle up.

It's reading 3/4 when the tank is full and reads -1/4 when the tank is empty.

Must have done this installing the new indiglos the other day.

Anyone know how to re-calibrate needles?
I don't even care if it's perfect, as long as it's close.

same thing happened to me when attempting to install my indiglo needle kit. i don't know if there is a way to recalibrate the needles.

i ended up getting another gauge cluster (used) from a junkyard.
