1-Make sure the indicating range of your gage matches the indicating range of your sender. 0-60 PSI gage and matching sender or 0-120 PSI gage and matching sender.

2-Troubleshoot with the Army TB:

The Holy Grail of instrument function is GROUNDING of the seneder, the gage to the cluster panel and the cluster panel to the dash. New resto paint means very poor grounds.
