for the speedo u can get a friend to help u and pace him. use a cell hpone or walkie talkie (safely) to see how fast he's going to see where to set the needle. anotehr idea is to get a cop with a radar gun one of them things on the side of the road that telll u the speed ur going at. if ur gonna do it alone. i'd get in an empty parking lot. i'd put the car in neutral and make sure the car is moving very very slowly. then set the needles at 0. ur gonna be going a lil bit slower than ur needle says but its more accurate and might save u from a few speeding tickets.
temp guage u shouldn't really worrk about. u know where it sits at normal operating temperature. if it moves up moer, u know ur having a problem. its not that accurate anyways. ur either cold, ok, or overheating.
did u read this? http://home.pacbell.net/fong8/gstuff/gauges.htm it might work for ur car...just uhm check that otehr post to see what ur car idles at..and be careful with the needles...the mechanism used to turn them are very fragile
