I have just recently purchased this car. Ii was installing the sub/amp system and disconnected the battery. Once i reconnected the battery i noticed that my gauges were all on the wrong side and no longer worked. I have tried to reconnect the battery and noticed every time the positive battery terminal sparked the battery the needles would fly back and forth. By doing this a few time i got the rpm gauge to go back but the gas and spedometer are still on the wrong side.

Possibly in hooking up your sub, amp you may have caused a voltage spike. What you may be able to do is remove the cluster and turn it upside down to get the needles in place or remove the lens and reset the needles
