HELP!!! SPEEDO,FUEL, PRESSURE GUAGE PROBLEMS!!!

I don't know what is going on!!! I was driving this morning and decided to stop for gas because I was running alittle low. I pumped that gas and got in the car. I started the the car and noticed that the fuel gauge was way past the full mark and I only put $10 in the tank. I figured wierd. When I started driving, i noticed it seemed like the speedo was stuck and as I kept driving the speedo kept going too. now it is sitting way past the 145 mark.... also I noticed the oil pressure gauge isnt working.... Everything on the right side of the cluster is working fine. I tried pushing on the cluster figuring it would help but no go..... I need some advice or help. Thanks in advance for any help.

Join the club!.. the gauge clusters are notorious for failing.. what you can do is search the forum and check the symtoms or do what i'm doing and wire up autometer gauges

Autometer guages are expensive.... I don't think anyone offers and aftermarket cluster pod for the 90-92s... put it back to stock.
