Today i went to put my custom gauge facing on. everything went well but when i put my gauge needles back in and turned my car on only the fuel and speed gauges were working (temp and rpms didnt work), and the speed one was off by 20mph lower. i tryed adjusting the needles over and over but i still have the same effect, the speed is 20 mph lower and the other two wont work. any suggestions?

You may have pushed too hard when installing the needles. Remove and try again. If problem persists, get a used IP from junk yard.

You can remove IP and look at gauges, see if they can be removed or back can be removed to access any gears, but usually the gauges are not serviceable and entire IP must be replaced.
