That is not a valid test. When measuring resistance of the sender, you can't have gauge connected. You will just be measuring the internal resistance of the system, and that won't tell you anything.

Turned the key on and the gage was around a 1/4 tank. (Almost correct for the 0 ohmns full and 200 empty spec.

So what is the problem? It sounds like you are getting a correct reading.

If you suspect the gauge, take it / send it to a specialist that can test and calibrate it. North Hollywood Speedometer is a well known shop.
