Newbie Needs Help With Gauges

I have a 77, and have some gauge problems. My oil pressure gauge used to work intermittently but no longer. The clock does not work. The fuel gauge bounces around when the tank is not full. Speedometer needle bounces and odmeter does not work.

Is the oil pressure gauge just a power wire, then wire to the sending unit? What other fixes do I need?

Thanks for all your help

As to the oil pressure gauge, try grounding the sender wire momentarily with the ignition on. It should read full scale. if so, the sender is likely bad.
