The temerature guage indicates the temperature of the coolant. My guage never worked, does yours move at all? The guage regarding oil, is the oil pressure guage. i wish I could hel with the problem but I realy don't understand the last part of your post.

Pick up an inexpensive mechanical oil pressure gauge and a Tee.
Remove your sender install the tee and reinstall the sender on it along with the mechanical tubing to its gauge.
Loosely run the tubing and gauge out thru the top of your hood to cowl seam.
Light things off and watch your two gauges. If the stock gauge still acts weird and the mechanical gauge is steady its probably the sender.
If the mecahnical gauge acts the same way the stock electrical gauge does you've got PROBLEMS.
You can do the above for probably $10 and 20 minutes time.
Good luck
