The gas gauge shows full when yellow wire was grounded. So I am assuming I have to take sending unit back out.

Used 8 gauge wire ran wire from leaf spring shock plate to gas outlet on sending unit. Still did not work.

The circuit is looking for a Ground through the sending unit.
Either the tank is not Grounded to the frame of the car, or the sending unit is not Grounded to the tank.
BOTH MUST BE GROUNDED.

To Ruppstang & franklinair yellow wire
Yellow wire gas gauge problem solved. After reviewing every thang I had done. The electrical boot connector from yellow wire to sending unit Bothered me couldn't get a good ground. So removed boot replaced it with new terminal connector. Worked gas gauge good as new. Again thanks for your input.
