im sure that you installed the needles wrong, the MPH needle needs to be installed with switch in ON position.

Wow, I didn't know that. When I installed my new guage faces, I was able to get the rpm needle right with a voltmeter, but the MPH needle was way off. What I did was got on the highway, set the cruise control at 3500 RPM cuz I knew that was exactly 70mph, then popped the needle on doing 70 on the highway, lol. It wasn't easy.
