Re: gauges
Kinda sounds like a grounding issue? If it were one I'd suspect a particular gauge or sender, but with all of them acting 'weird' Sure sounds like a common electrical problem,,, which is 99% of the time GROUNDS!
GM changed the ohms required by the gauge / sending units in the mid 60's as I recall so you should be compatible with everything in the 70's I believe.
Whomever supplied the replacement cluster should be able to supply details for the sending units, ohms for full sweep of the gauge etc. If all thats compatible and correct,, sounds like a electrical issue. I'd suggest you check the grounds to and between the engine block and the cab.
BTW, Have I mentioned that grounds are a real important thing in an electrical system?
LOL Seriously. Even too much teflon tape can on the sending unit can screw up the reading as the sending unit only goes to ground.
