Larry:
Just realized you are having problems with both your fuel gauge and temp
guage. My money is betting that you do not have them wired through the
voltage stabalizer. It is a little box, about 1"x1/2"x1/2" mounted to the
back side of the dash board right above the radio console, with a green
supply wire, and two Light Green with dark green trace wires coming off of
it. The LGG wires supply the reduced voltage to your fuel gauge and temp
guage. The voltage stabalizer is necessary, because in full charge
conditions, the alternator/dynamo is supplying the electrical system with up
to 16 volts, which would cause the electrical gauges to read higher (hotter
or fuller) than when the voltage is under drain, say when honking the horns,
or using the highbeams. The solution is to supply a stabalized 8 volts at
all times, so the gauges would not be affected by changes in voltage. Hope
this is it. Good luck.
