I know this is a super old thread but this problem began occurring for me the other day in my 60. I took apart my fuel gauge today, is this the contact point you are referencing to? I went ahead and rubbed some emery cloth between the two but wanted to make sure I have the correct location. Multiple threads explaining this but I haven’t been able to find pics. Thank you in advance!someone showed me
yes take the cluster/dash out(its super easy) and then the fuel guage out. On the back of the fuel guage you will see a little points contact, clean it with some emory cloth(or something like that) To be honest I got mine so it happened less often(it will get worse and worse) but decided I didnt want to have to worry about it for anohter 100K+ so I bought a new guage.
this is the old one, just happen to come across it today.
screw driver is pointing at the contact(that they both share)

Perfect I may just go that route thank you. I've been looking into the SpeedHut gauges, they look really niceYes, those are the contact points. Sometimes cleaning them up will improve the Temperature accuracy, but in my experience, it doesn't work very well. You're really much better off installing a quality aftermarket Temp gauge. Electrical is way easier than a mechanical and will be way more accurate than the stock gauge.
@Spook50 was developing a solid state replacement, but don't know the status of that.
