I would expect the Fuel gauge to go low since the less voltage it
gets the less it reads.
As for the Temp gauge, who knows?
Just treat what you see as a definite symptom of the VR playing up.
They normally only have 2 wires, 12V feed and the instrument feed.
The VR is grounded through its case normally but if an electrically
challenged PO has had a go at it, once again, who knows :)

I know these two gauges are fed through the gauge voltage regulator,
but if
the voltage regulator fails, does the fuel gauge go low and the
temperature
gauge go high? This may be a moot point, because during a brief
inspection
under the dash at the next town, I couldn't find the gauge voltage
regulator.
I sure isn't where it is supposed to be, and there is some
contraption with a
number of wires running in and out, wrapped in electrical tape, which
isn't on
any roadster wiring diagram I have ever seen.
