Good Morning,
This is interesting, for sure I DON'T have the 1800 engine, its just a plain ol G16B, in a 1997 4 door, 4wd, auto. So it seems that some previous owner must have changed out the instruments, maybe just found one that works and 'good enough'.
All screws in the back were in good condition and tight, PCB looked good. So either the caps or the main instrument is U/S. It looks pretty delicate, so I've not messed with it. Do you have to remove the instrument from the facia card to replace the caps? That means removing the pointer, which trashes the calibration?
Looks like the only option is to swop in a couple of clusters to try to find one that works.
BTW, did you have a new engine wiring harness made up for your rebuild? My injector harness crumbles to the touch and I'd like to get something a bit more robust!
