I think Ron and Lee's suggestion is the answer. I tweaked the needle ever so slightly where the needle takes a 90 degree bend. I was able to put it dead nuts on. The needle looks straight as a pin. Now that I think of it I had a catastrophic 6JB6 failure some time ago which most likely caused

Hi Gary, Yup. It could have been installed by the owner. But being very near the end of the T-4X production run and based on the fact that it was converted from T-4 to T-4X right before the introduction of T-4XB, I wouldn't be surprised even if some of T-4XB parts were used in the
