Default Dashboard help!?!?

Ok so here i am i installed blue/white guages for my 93 mustang lx and ive mooved the pins on them when installing now the speedometer and RPMS are fine but the other 4 needles for the other four guages on the sides (the gas, temp, battery etc.) are outta wack. now this might be a dumb question but i wanna assure this is right, if i move the pins (needles) to the bottom line (ex. move the needle to the completely empty line the very bottom line on the guage) will it go back to normal when i start it up? the needles work its just there not where there supposed to be. and if that doesn't work what can i do? (just incase you dont understand cuz im not wording this the best, i kno, heres another example, while the cars off the temp guage will be all the way up)
thanks
-Greg

you needed to mark where the needles were bc you have the needles in the wrong angle

Have fun placing them back where they belong. You were supposed to mark where the needle was before you put the WFG on and then push the needle back in the same position.

If you move the needle while the car is off and turn it back on...that won't help you at all.

Sorry to cut it to ya, but if you dont have a OBD scanner hooked up to the car you will probably never be able to get them back to normal....just a guesstimate close.

The scanner too will probably only tell you Water temp and voltage.
