Success!!!!!!

You were spot on. The new speedo overlay was covering up part of the hole where the needle goes thru and the needle was ever so slightly rubbing the "Shaft" of the needle. I used my Xacto knife, trimmed it back , powered the cluster up, reinstalled the needle and took it out for a test drive. It swept up smoothly and returned to rest just shy of the stop.

Now if I can install the cluster in the tub and bezel without screwing it up I'll be happy!!!!LOL

Again, THANKS !!!!

You are the MAN.....
