The fuel gauge in my 68 fury is usually on E but sometimes around corners will jump to 1/4 or more and slowly goes back to E. What do you guys think is haywire. Thanx Frank

Sending unit is probably bad.
I don’t know where’s the best place to get a replacement, but I suspect others will chime in on a source.

You may also check the ground at the sending unit. It’s usually a clip that spans the hose between the sending unit and fuel line.
 
It could be any number of reasons. Send unit issue, poor connections at dash, poor ground. You gotta start testing with an ohm meter. As was mentioned in post #2. Start with testing the spanner across the hose at the tank. Then ground the wire from the sender to the gauge and see if the gauge goes to Full. 50 + years takes its toll on electrical circuits. I'm betting on bad continuity somewhere in the circuit.
