Still having a problem with this d@mn fuel gauge...

OK, The line from the sending unit to the fuse box may very well be pinched. SO my conventional wisdom told me to take off the wire at the sending unit, put ANOTHER wire on and hook that directly to the fuse box where it plugs in and BINGO, it SHOULD work IF the wire was pinched. But this is MY luck we are talking about, or I'm a dumba$$, so no haps. The ground appears to be fine, but I did notice that there was a rubber grommet thing on the sending unit where the brown wire that attaches. The rubber grommet is all tore up.

So now what? Do I need a new sending unit? The gauge still reads all the way over on full, and I'm REALLY tired of having to remember to put gas in this d@mn thing. I'm surely going to run out one day. On a brighter note, I got my tach installed in less than a 1/2 hour. That was pretty easy. Now I need to install my oil/volt/temp gauges (that had BETTER not be a problem!!!) and get this fuel gauge fixed. HELP HELP HELP!!!
