PS: my Autometer gauges have a hole in the case with a very small poti behind. This is to adjust the resistance for calibration. I do not know the Smith gauges, but maybe you have something similar?
My Smiths gauge does not have any adjustment that I am aware of. It is working now. Thanks for the suggestion.
