All, What type of symptoms are common when the IVR starts to head south? All my gauges work but they seem to have started reading higher than normal now. Just curious if this could be the IVR. This is a '70 rallye gauge package so I guess the IVR is in the fuel gauge. What symptoms are normal if the cap goes bad?

Well it almost appears that the fuel, oil, and temp gauge are all reading a bit higher than they used to. My temp gauge was the first I noticed as it always used to run one click below middle and now it is two clicks above and sometimes bounces around a little bit. Then trying to chase down a fuel issue i realized my fuel is now completely empty when the gauge still shows 1/8 tank. Oil pressure definitely seemed to go a bit higher too. Wasn't sure if it was the IVR or the cap discharging etc.
