Gas gauge not working? I think I fixed it.

I'm following with interest as well. I have more than one A body gas gauge that doesn't work.

Pawned this is probably a stupid question but these cars have what I think is ground strap that goes from the sending unit to the fuel line. Not uncommon for them to be missing does your car have one? Mine are all broken or missing I was hoping that might be the problem with mine.

Yes I have one, but mine is in worse shape than the one in your picture.
So, long ago I added a 2nd grounding wire from the fuel outlet of the sending unit to chassis ground.
