I relocated my fuel guage to the glove compartment and it doesn't register correctly anymore- All connections are correct and strong. Could this misreading have something to do with moving from a well grounded position to being held up with a steel bar ?? Anyone else had this problem??

Have you tried opening the glove box?

Make sure the gauge is grounded if thats not your problem then you should ck your sending unit make sure the gas tank only has a 1/4 of a tank remove the wires from the sending unit and remove the ring that holds the sending unit. Use a ohm meter to ck the unit it should read 0 - 90 ohms when you move the arm.

I haven't fooled with it anymore for the time being. I believe that originally it is grounded by being in place in the metal insert in the dash and now its stationed on top of the plastic in the glovebox. I think I might sauter a ground onto the guage running it to some nearby metal.
