Hi Mayf,
It should not matter which terminal is used on the back of the gauges.
Just make sure one terminal of each
gauge has a wire that goes to the regulator (LGG?). WHAT ARE THE
SYMPTOMS YOU ARE SEEING NOW?
I have my stock restored 2bbl MKI that I can give you pictures but not
till later today or tomorrow if you don't
get some by then.
Hang in there, we can help...
