Both the fuel and temperature guages are powered by a voltage regulator
located under the dash,next to the steering column. My guess would be
either faulty / dirty connections, or as someone on the list mentioned, the
wiring atachments inside the voltage regulator cas are riveted, not
soldered.
Take out the regulator ( rectangular shaped looks like

clean the contacts, open the case by bending up the tabs, and solder the
internal connections - should solve your problems.
