Not sure why you took off the needles, but whatever.I'm guessing new gauge faces.I would elaborate more on how to do this, but I have to run.You should have taken a before picture so that you would have something to go by.Do a search, there was a thread about this a while back.For now, maybe this will get you started.Sorry I cannot be of more help.
In the off position, they should look close to that.To get the speedo and tach close to where they should be, use the digital tach and speedo then place the needles accordingly.
As mentioned, there is already a thread here. But, basically, you need to temporarily hook the instrument cluster back up, but without the clear plastic lens on and the needles detached. You put the odometer in test mode, and it will give exact digital readings for the gauges. Just re-install the needles on each gauge, one by one, so that it points to the same reading that the odometer is displaying for that function.
