There should be some kind of resistor/buffer on the gauge itself to keep the needle steady. On the older cars, it was a resistor shunted directly across the terminals of the gauge itself. The later cars w/electronic gauges/circuit boards, it is made into the circuit board, I believe....

eboJoel I changed that circut board a few years back as part of the resto......
Perhaps the gauge is just bad?
The reason for asking that was these car ride like lumber wagons, maybe the gauge is not tight or something is striking it as you bounce on down the road. While sitting still can you pound on or around the dash to see if you can make it bounce.
