I had a dakota that did the exact same thing with the fuel gauge.. turns out I hooked up the wires wrong at the tank.. check that first...

gas guage-------- i had this on my 51 plymouth. check the grounds as the other user mentioned. I did this on mine too. I also removed and disassembled the fuel level sender from the fuel tank...this was real real real easy. i noticed there is a small spring on the fuel send lever that was broken. i had this fixed....real easy. then i inspected and reexpoxied the cork float. after i did this my fuel guage worked perfect and stable.

ps------- i had to replace my guage because the fuel level needle in the guage broke off from going back and forth constantly over the course of a month or so,,,,so be sure to fix this quick otherwise you will be fixing the sender and opening the dash up and replacing the fuel guage too...........with one that doesnt match your others like i had to do!!!!!!! good luck.
