Gauge resistor question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, I recently rebuilt a gauge cluster with all new NOS GM gauges. I think I may have crossed up the resistors. There is a yellow one and a blue one. They are the porcelin resistors. Which one goes on which gauge? The Fuel reads full and the temp pegs red hot...and the engine isn't even running when it's pegged red hot.

Also, there are the brown flat pieces that look like they are to keep the resistor from contacting the metal housing of the cluster unit. Which ones go where? I thought I put them back the same way, but now I'm not so sure.

Does anyone have a pic of the back of a instument cluster with gauges. I want to see how the resistors are supposed to go, as well as the brown flat peices.

Also, does the ammeter have a resistor?

Thanks!

I bought teal and blue one, the teal is for fuel and the blue is fot temp. dunno if this will help since 1 of yours is yellow.
