RE: gas gage problem
Assuming you grounded the sending unit correctly, the problem is likely the gauge itself. There is a way to test the fuel gauge. Check your Chilton's manual or do a search on this site (and similar sites) and I'm sure you'll find how to test the fuel gauge.

it might be the small shunt resistor on the back side of the gauge if this is bad it would not allow the gauge to calibrate correctly.
