An important consideration. Did these anomalies crop up at exactly the same time?

Yes, I parked the car for the winter. It sat for approx. 1 month inside in my shop, (everything worked fine when I parked it), then it was a sunny day so I took it out for a drive last Sat. and both the Tach and fuel guage had stopped working at the same time. Got me baffled. I must admit that I know next to nothing about wiring etc.
Thanks

It would lead one to believe that the two would be tied to a single item failure then. They do share fuse #12, along with the other gauges. I would wiggle or replace fuse 12. Make sure the contacts are bright. Wiggle the wires on the back of the fuse panel at fuse 12 to burnish them.

Along with that, burnish up the ground contacts on the stud under the dash, just to the left of the speedometer. There is a big bundle of black wires that terminate there.
