Default bad gauge cluster?

i dont know if this is a common issue with the 95, but all of my gauges are incorrect. voltage reads 14-15 (13.8 at alternator), fuel reads 1/4 tank when empty but goes up way past full, tach seems a little high, speedometer is known and verified to read high (stock tires and gears), the oil pressure gauge is questionable, it stays around 40 at cruise, 20 at idle. the temp gauge is also questionable, it stays at the middle bar between 100 and 210 (im guessing that means its 155?), but i have a new 180* t-stat and a new temp sending unit. before i replaced that sending unit, it did read a little bit higher. also, my electric fan is set to turn on at 210 however the gauge is only reading around 195 or so.

also, if its in park and i rev it, around 3500 the speedo will start to rise up to about 10 mph

im a mechanic by profession so i know not to trust oem gauges. i wanted to know if this is a problem anyone has encountered before i got and replace the gauge cluster.-
