Need help with gas gauge

That sounds mucho better Chris.
Appears you have a 240-33 sender(common aftermarket)

I'd check the OHMs reading at the gage while you have the sender at Full (gage showing 7/8)
If you have a dirty or loose connection (adds resistance) which could explain the 7/8 reading. (say the gage is seeing 45 ohms at full)

Good suggestion. I really don't want to pull the dash out if I can avoid it. If when I put the tank back in the car the fuel gauge starts working, I don't mind if it's not deadly accurate. I will just learn to judge the remaining range from the fuel gauge. I have my fingers crossed that it will work at all.
