George;
I can't find the "notes to self" made when I had my fuel gauge and sender 
apart a few months ago,
but, as I recall, the sender resistance is high at Full and low at 
Empty.  There is an internal ground
in the gauge.  I suggest that your wire to the sender may have been 
grounded somewhere before, and
that you now need a ground at the gauge's sender terminal to make it read 
empty.

While messing around at the fuel end of things, does anyone have a 
suggestion for freeing up the
filter on the filler of my 80 in. without doing it great injury?   It has 
been stuck down for years.
