Well, I managed to pull off the voltage limiter from behind the fuel gauge with the dashboard still in place. It was a royal pain in the ass, and it took about 20 minutes but I did it. I cleaned all 3 contact spades and with the use of a hemostat, I snapped it back in. The hardest part of the operation was bending myself like a pretzel under and behind the brake pedal to access the back of the panel without removing the dash. The hemostats were indispensible.. I clamped onto one of the spades, maneuvered the unit up and through the maze of wires and struts, with the aid of a small flashlight to lite up the path, presented the 3 spades into their receptacles and pushed the Voltage Limiter in to make full contact. PRESTO..!
The Fuel gauge works flawlessly now.
While I was at it, I cleaned and remade all contacts for the wire from the Fuel sending unit..Thank you all for the help identifying the culprit.
