you can just buy a cluster off ebay for a 94 accord and take the fuel assembly.

Nope It just unscrews from the back of the cluster.

Btw, you have to repace the whole gauge not just the needle.

You can't replace only the needle. You need the gas gauge.

#12 is the correct item on www.acuraautomotiveparts.org

For the price of that cluster on eBay, why not get the NEW gauge from www.acuraautomotiveparts.org ?
