64 valiant gauge problems

I've been trying to troubleshoot my fuel gauge on my 64 valiant convertible. The fuel sending unit was bad so I replaced it. I'm getting 70 ohms at the sending unit connector (1/4 full?) and at the connector behind the kick plate. The gauge sits on empty but if I connect the other side of the kick plate connector to ground the gauge goes to full. Temp gauge works fine also.

I ohmed out the connector so I know that's fine and I jumped out the connector to confirm that's not a problem. My next step is to fill the tank and see if I get any movement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
