What all is sick on it just gauge or other?
How is fuel pressure and ign system.
Any codes or check engine lights?
Have you checked grounds on fuel tank and other electrical stuff.
Is alternator carrying head light load and other stuff?
What is battery voltage reading engine off andf on and with all electrical stuff on?
Does any other gauge move with headlights on?
