[6pack] Intermittent ground?

[John Cyganowski]

<snip> I have been trying to track down the gremlin that's keeping my fuel and temp gauges from working. I'll start up the car and those two gauges don't function (the voltage and oil pressure gauges work fine). After maybe 15 or 20 minutes of
driving, they'll suddenly kick on and stay on for the rest of the trip. Some trips, they
don't come on at all. <snip>
David-
Those 2 gauges are on the same power circuit.  Have someone sit in the car while idling, monitoring the gauges.
You push on (I think the top terminals of the fuse box (I think)  See what that does.  If your gauges come up, then I think you need to replace the fuse box (not too expensive or difficult (getting the 2 screws out is the hard part.)
The TR6 fuse boxes were riveted together.  After 40 years of vibration and corrosion, they sometimes fail.
