Electrical headache
I have a 63 with a strange habit. When the turn signals are applied, or the brake, the needle on the temp gauge jumps back and forth. I have gone through the wiring, checked the grounds and everything appears ok. No fuses are blowing, and everything seems to work as it should. Any ideas on what else to check? Thanks for any suggestions.

Reminds me of how the fuel gauge on my 62 behaved before I put a dedicated ground on it.
So given that unrelated piece of info, I wonder - did you put teflon tape on the threads of the temp sender, leaving it with a weak ground?
Ok, I'll admit, it's a real stretch....
