In my 82 Bronco fuel guage stopped working, i pulled the wire connector off the sender unit at the fuel tank and bridged it together, with ign on the fuel guage should show full, this indicates the wiring to the sender is ok and there is power there.
When sender removed it turned out the float had a small pin hole in it, and was full of fuel, sinking it to the bottom of the tank even when full of fuel.
Other wise put a multi meter accross the sender terminals you should have a closed circuit thru the sender, (ie power flows thru it) if not needs replacing.
