    I recently got the APC SpeedGlo White Faced Gauges for my birthday. I was reading a "how to install" from www.mustangworld.com and they said if you gauges do not have a whole for the stop pins that you should simply poke a whole in it. Well the gauges I got does not have a whole for the Oil Pressure Gauge but, I don't know if it will ruin the gauges if I poke a whole in it. If I do not re-install the stop pin on the Gauge will it read wrong? What do you guys think I should do?

    In the installation guide on MustangWorld it says that the Speedo, Tach, and Oil Pressure gauges are pressure loaded. I went out and looked at what the gauge does when I start it up and it shoots right to its reading automatically. It is not like the gas gauge which goes slowly. And when I shut it down it dropped gradually but hit the pin within a couple of seconds.

    I am thinking of just returning the gauges for store credit. Anyone have gauges off of ebay? I've seen some deals but dont know the quality of parts.
