i pulled a 140 mph speed out of a 89 gta for my 91 formula


i had to replace the light bulbs and i took the needle off of the speedo to attempt to adjust the milage to what my car actually had on it.

everything worked fine until i put it all back in and started teh car up, and now my speedo needle didnt move. did i loose the calibration in it ?


anyway to fix this or am i sol.

 

Pulling the needle pretty much makes you sol. The internals are spring loaded to hold the needle to the stop with a specific amount of tension.When you pulled the needle, you blew it unfortunately.

 

damn.... then how do people take them off to do white faced guages and all of that wiht out wrecking it ??

 

They don't take the needle off. The center hole in the face is made larger to slip the needle through it.
