gas guage jumps

My 87 300E has 316K miles. The gas guage occ will change from a correct reading to zero to 1/4 back to normal. Sometimes the jumping is almost continuous and other times not.
Is this most likely a sender problem or dash problem? If a sender problem is it usually a contact cleaning or replacement of sender?
If a dash problem is there a contact to clean? I may pull the dash anyway to get my trip odometer fixed(nobody local-plan to send to Hollywood if no other suggestions.)
Thanks
