Long-time known issue discussed many times here and 311s.org:
<http://www.311s.org/pmwiki-311/pmwiki.php?n=TechSection.FuelTempRegulator>
Generally, when both the water temp and fuel gauges are not working, it's the
instrument voltage regulator, which is attached to the steering column. Looks
like this:

Last I checked, this item is NLA from Nissan.

Subject: Re: [Roadsters] I Don't Know When I'm About To Run Out Of Gas
I have had the same problem since restoring my 68. Don't have the electrical
smarts to figure this one out. Now I will have to see how my guages react when
roadster is running and off. This whole conversation sounds a but familiar.
Temp guage would not work either. Seems to me that they both tie into the back
of the ammeter. And is there a resistor under the dash that is involved too?
Larry.
