the guage is pegging constantly moving back and forth from the left to the right it will do it every few seconds but it seems to give a normal temp reading when its not flipping out

Look for the temp guage sender. On V-8's it is on the driver side block. Make sure the wire(single wire) is not burnt as it is near the exxhaust manifold.
