To my knowledge, there is no damper unit. There apparently were 2 types of gauges used in various Clippers according to the Motors manual. Did the replacement sender look exactly the same? Since the needle is fluctuating wildly, your dash unit is a magnetic S-W type. The K-S type is bimetal so needle would respond much slower.

If the senders were the same, tolandis suggestion would be my first also. In addition, with that gauge make sure the wiring connections are good. The schematics show an inline bakelite connector but I'm not sure exactly where it is. That gauge also requires a ground at the instrument cluster so also make sure it has a good solid ground.
