A month or so ago, I broke a lot of the bulbs out of my gauge cluster so that all the stupid lights won't come on (ABS, Security, Check Gauges, Airbag, etc.). I thought that the magnets for the needles would automatically reset their position, so I didn't care too much where they were....that's not the case. I'm wondering where the needles sit when the car is cold at rest. A picture would be worth a thousand words. I believe a 99+ car should work (LS1 Camaro)

Your help would be greatly appreciated

This is after sitting all night, key off, 99 LS1.

I believe the oil pressure gauge was in that position at the time of shutoff. If you turn on the key, it goes to zero.

That helped 2thumbs.gif , I think I got it. I always remember my oil pressure shutting off at about idle psi (41-42). I think the tach, oil, speedo, and battery are pretty good now. Just have to figure out how much gas is in the tank (not much for the winter...and some STA-BIL.)
