New pump install, now fuel gauge dosen't work
Put my new AC Delco fuel pump in my 95 Z28 yesterday, had a half a tank and ran it down to just under 1/4 a tank. I filled it up after and the needle went way past F has not moved after 80 miles. Did the sending unit fail also or could it have been something I did installing the pump? It just does not make sense because it still worked before I filled up after the pump install

Ok heres what happens. When I fill up the needle goes all the way past F till it touches the end of the dash section in the fuel gauge. After driving for a while it started to go down. I drove the car to 1/2 tank and filled up and the car took13 gallons of gas! So just about at a half a tank the car is empty. What could have went wrong?
