'77 Spitfire fuel gauge pblm

[Harve B Thorn <maya2blue@juno.com>]

Greetings...

I am perplexed by a fluctuating  fuel gauge.  (reads okay sometimes, way
off othertimes)

I  have used the (in)famous dip stick method to verify "full,"
"half-full," and "almost empty."

It's a '77  1500 Spitfire.  All other electrics apparently okay.  

I have replaced the actual gauge and the sending unit.  Same deal.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Harve
