Default Crazy Gas Gauge

My gas gauge on my '82 has gone nuts. It jumps from full to a half tank continually. I know I have fuel and it has just started this. Fuel is there for WOT and that sort of thing. Is there just a sensor I can check?

Normal as I see it... My 80 has done that since new.

Somebody posted recently that a new Gauge would fix the problem. Look in tech in the last day or 3.

Ok, and thanks. I'll check it out but putting in a complete gauge sounds like over-kill to me.

I've recently replaced all my cluster gauges with Autometers but I have not been able to drive it to see if there were positive results. I'll let you know.
