Default RE: Electrical question

Sounds like a lot of bad grounds.
Fuel gauge problem, have the same prob, is most likely a bad ground at or near the sender. Full tank is supposed to be like 90 ohms of resistance. 0-90 sounds about right...I know mine always has 118 ohms, could also be a bad float in the tank.

Stock gauges I presume, Speedo is cable controlled, check the tranny and check for proper gear ratio, Posible rear axle change, or binding cable. Tach is electronically controlled to. Posible bad ground at coil.

Lot to check
