87 270 Amberjack twin 4.3's. been restoring it. Tach & trim gauge don't work. Also, fuel gauge works intermittently and sometime needle just bounces. Also synchronize gauge doesn't work. IDEAS?????

Trim gauge could be trim sensors on outdrive need cleaned/serviced/replaced.

Since you are restoring, there may be a bad/poor ground connection somewhere,i.e. wire that was not reattached properly, or loose, etc.

+1 on a ground issue.

Look behind your dash. Purple wire coming from key switch powers your gauges. Clean all the connections
