Truck not starting/fuel problems

[amikk97]

hello all,
I got an 87 sierra and this is the problem: it cranks fine and has good compression, however it wont turn over. I put some gas down the tbi and it runs but once the gas is used up it just sputters out and dies. also, my fuel gauge is stuck in the 3 o'clock position, just past full and wont move at all. I think it might be the ground wire that's acting up because I recently changed the tank. for the starting problem , I believe its the fuel pump? please help.
