Thanks again everyone for the suggestions. It was gorgeous here today in NY and even though I’m a little sick I went out and tore through the car again. I disassembled the sending unit to see why it was reading 0. Turns out the bottom stop for the float arm got bent into the sending unit wire and grounded it out. I bent it out and works fine. Problem was I found out why it was bent. Whoever built the fuel tank cut out a 1.5” hole and the main part of the sending unit wouldn’t fit at an angle with the float stop the proper way. PO must have forced it in the hole and bent it. I had to remove the stop so I could get the unit in. The float shouldn’t ride lower than the stop anyway when resting on the bottom of the tank. I reinstalled it and sure enough it now reads empty!!
