fuel and temp gauges not working - 71 dart

well if you dont want to bend the little thingy just do what i did get a piece of insulation plastic the kind they use in electric motors and cut a piece th fit between the contacts on the points to disable the factory set up. then no need to bend the thingy.and the dash-worx VL dosent require your gauges to be recalibrated . but some will disagree im sure
