I have run into some false gauge readings. Im showing low voltage (battery charged, oil px is reading high, fuel gauge is stuck around 3/4. Its a gremlin because once in a while the gauges jump right back to normal. Could there be a common ground or wire all these gauges run off?relay?

You have a grounding issue. Need to find the common ground to the gauges

I figured so. Where can I find the common ground? Instrument cluster or on the block?

start at the back of the gauges and follow the black wires.
