Fuel gage problem. on Series 23

I had the fuel gage working fine on my Series 23 until I ran out of gas on the road. The fuel gage is not operating any more and is stuck on 3/4 full.

I previously had a new sending unit installed in my tank and it worked fine for over a year. I had a local shop check the gage when the instrument panel was out. When they worked on the tank they found bad wiring and fixed the wire insulation at the tank. I replaced the entire wire loom also.

I have a spare gage available but have not tried to check it yet.

Does anyone have experience with this fix? I want to get any suggestions on how to test the system. At age 77 I now find it very difficult to crawl under the dash, so I only want to do this once if possible.
