68 fuel gauge - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sorry if this is a repeat of a very common problem. I've searched the and read a ton of fixes and diagnostic info but I'm still in the dark here.

The gauge in my 68 is reading at the 3 O'Clock position. From what I've read this means the wire from the tank is grounded somewhere.

I can see brown and tan wires going from the back of the fuse block into the wiring that goes to the back of the truck. Is anything supposed to be plugged into the spade connector on the front of the fuse block?

Also if that terminal is grounded to the frame the fuel gauge should swing all the way to empty correct?

Or have I got this all bass ackward?
