<VV> LM Gas Gauge Inaccuracy

[Dennis Pleau]

On the back of the instrument panel on my 65 there is a tab just the size to
slip a female spade terminal.  I connected that the other end to ground and
took care of a lot of weirdness with my gas gauge and dash lights.  

You don't even want to know about the HRPT, which I replace with a 50 amp RV
circuit breaker.

Thanks to everyone. I found the ground strap, snugged the screw. I'm not
certain whether/how well it's connected at the ground lug on the instrument
cluster. I like the idea of a dedicated ground wire from the lug to a good
chassis ground. Even if it doesn't turn out to be the root cause of all my
instrument evils, it's a smart move. I guess I need to pull the whole durn
dash out and do that.
Dare the newbie ask what the horrid red plastic thingy is? Or will I need to
brace myself with a vodka tonic first?
