'67 F100 Gas Gauge, ETC

my gauge works when I pull the sending unit and move it by hand, but it won't register right when I put it back in the tank. Suggestions....?

also...my dash lights won't come on. the bulbs are good, and the oil light does work...is there a fuse or other issues to look at?

I appreciate your time and help.

My truck is a 1967 F100. I had the same two problems that you are having now, not long ago.
After checking all the grounds. I took out the sending unit to find that the float was leaking and full of gas. Replaced the sending unit. No more problems.

After R&R the instrument panel to check all wires, after replacing the ignition switch etc. no luck. I was getting ready to buy a new light switch , I turned the **** a little side to side till I came to "the sweet spot" and the dash lights work.
