How to ground the cluster - Where is the P-ground, or easy way to add another?
My cluster needs better electrical grounding. My oil pressure needle swings/twitches like a bad ground, and I just had the oil pressure sender replaced. My speedo needle bounces a little bit at slow speeds, and I've even seen my fuel needle twitch.
The grounds under the dash (on the floor, looking up) are good, I cleaned them anyway and they were pretty mint (no visible corrosion)
Where is the electrical for the gauges grounded, or where to where can I add a wire? Thank you so much! Car is coming along so great! I know my headlight ground needs a little touching up, not a wreck but not 'great', either (visible corrosion). I hope that's all it needs but I doubt it!

There are some grounds on the back of the gauge cluster istelf, I believe (at least on later cars, dunno about early cars).
I haven't taken out the gauge cluster myself yet, but Clark's garage mentioned it as a "while you're in there" to clean the grounds. They're described as being under some black, football-shaped nuts.
