Did you verify the operation of the gauge with the sending unit outside (not installed) in the gas tank? You should be able to move the float arm up and down with a similar proportional "up and down" reading of the gas gauge.
Also, the float may be sticking on its way up or down because of its dragging along the side of the tank. Make sure that the float arm is bent in the right angle to avoid this. Of course, there may be a bad ground somewhere along the line. ALWAYS a possibility with Lucas!

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.
