I hope I can help. When you have your dash somewhat apart but before you touch your instrument cluster. Unplug both harnesses and remove remove the plastic cover of your instrument cluster. Once that is removed and everything is unplugged, move the fuel needle straight down past the empty mark. Then remove the needle as your move the needle backwards. Once removed your can plug the harnesses back in. After the needles have stopped twitching put the needle one in the exact postion you want to start in. Mine goes on slightly below the empty mark. Push it on but now all the way. Unplug the harness and then move the need towards the full mark. Then plug the harness back in and the needle should fall back to the point in which you started, if not start over. Test if several times to make sure it functions properly. Taking the dash apart over and over is totally frustrating. Once you are confident that it is working properly push in down a little further but do not push it flush to the face. If you do, it will more than likely hang up and not provide accurate reading. Leave about an 1/8 or so gap. Then of course put it all back together. You should be able to do all of this without removing the back of the instrument cluster or any of the other needles. Unless of course you need to adjust them as well and then just do the same as you did to fix your fuel guage. Hope this helps bro. Let me know how you turn out.
