When I ground the wire coming from the gauge it takes the hand all the way to full. It has a new tank and sending unit on it. It must have something holding the float down or what? Its a 72 Duster.:violent1:
 
Make sure you have a low resistance ground frm the sending unit to the frame.
You should have a ground strap that bridges the gap between the the sending unit tube to the fuel line that completes the the ground circuit.
 
Besides #2, the float often gets a hole so it doesn't float. Best to remove the tank to get the sender out. You can do it w/ tank in place, but probably not best for the 1st time.
 
Yeah I thought that ground was my problem, cleaned it up good still no gas. Looks like it wont be to bad to get the sending unit out without takin the tank off. Its almost full of fuel tho.

So you do have the ground clip from metal to metal across the rubber line?

Looks like this.
