The gauge problem is either the gauge itself, or the sender in tank.
You would have to isolate the wires to the gauge from the sender and measure resistance.
Most GM cars are 0-90 ohms, 0 is empty and 90 is full.
If resistance flucuates, then sender is bad, if not then gauge is bad.

The wobble is most likely a warped rotor.
