If it ain't broke, don't fix it!With electrical circuits cleaning &
reseating connections often will clear up problems, never to return. If it
does return then consider changing the sending unit.

Check the area around the sender. Look at the 'locking ring' that holds it

I think I read in an earlier response that the locking ring plays a part in
grounding. Maybe removing and reinstalling cleaned that connection.Godspeed,

I guess this is too late for you, but...
Before you replace a sender, check the replacement for the
appropriate resistance across the coil. If it's right,
then remove the wiring from the old unit (leave it the
tank, for now) and connect it to the replacement.

Its
certainly possible that the tank and/or the gauge were changed at some point
to a later one. That might explain a few
things.

Vernon,
Is it a digital or analog meter? A digital most likely will have a read out in
numbers lit up on a screen. An analog meter has a needle that moves across a
scale.
A digital is much easier to read and understand. If it's an analog
it is going to take some

According to the
description I have, the 1964 sending unit is 0-3 ohms. The later units (up to
1972) all seem to go up to 90 ohms.

Check the ground
