The temp and gas gauges work off a voltage stabilizer. Have you checked that piece?

I know grounds are the typical source or cause of the problems and I have been attacking that as best I can.  Also there does not seem to be power to that circuit, even when I turn the lights on and the panel switch as well.  I replaced the fuse block and that did help. More voltage. Was pretty corroded. New one has a spiffy cover and I applied dielectric grease as well.  The wipers work, the horn honks the heater motor runs, have oil pressure, but no dash light or fuel level or temp. Also purchased a brake light switch as well. Turn signals work as does the green indicator light on the dash. Head lights ( high and low beams), turn signals and stop light all work. Part of the issue is size 100 hands (big) in a size 3 under dash.  So I am going to keep after it.  Was there an wiring change in the MK1 production run? The wiring on my gas and temp gages does not look like the schematic.  If I look at the back side of the fuel gage and temp gage what wire goes where?
