The needle jumps ever so slightly when I turn on the ignition, but it always reads full even when the ignition is off.

Hey, LostMy65, a common cause is the wire running from the gauge to the sending unit at the tank. If it is "open"(not a good connection), the needle stays on
F all the time. Temporarily
remove this original wire and
then run a quick/new wire from the gauge to the sender(like straight from the gauge, across back of seat, and to the sender). If the original wire was causing the problem, the gauge should now move off
F and work. If it does, just carefully re-route and bury this tempo wire, making it the new, permanent one.
