Danny, not sure what you mean... theres a line from the bottom of the gauge...
As for lining it up, that is THE biggest thing, and hardest thing. I also got some new washers, used a screwdriver, etc. Finally got it tight. Found that getting it snug to where u can still poke the washers a little is best, adjust, tighten a 6th of a turn, adjust, etc. Sounds painfull but it's not bad.
