I do not have the wiring diagram with me at this moment, but
maybe,...just maybe these two problems are linked to the
voltage regulator. i am not sure about your 72 '6 (i have a 76 model)
but it is located behind the speedo (or is it the tach?).
well, when my reg. went bad (years ago-hence the bad memory) it effected
several gauges:the fuel gauge would read ZIP/ZERO.
just a place to start. again, i could be completely wrong.
good luck/cheers,
james
