Put a voltmeter on it and don't reconnect your battery until everything reads correctly, otherwise you might fry something.

F post or post connected to sender/tank

E post or post connected to ignition

Post to post resistance reading 29 ohms

F post to ground or outside of housing
27 ohms

E post to ground or outside of housing

Check for burnt or broken wires. Central rivet if loose can cause problem with the ground. Also need connectivity from housing to dash
