fuel gauge problem
on my 93 its stuck pass on full on the fuel gauge no matter even when it is bone empty.
someone told me it was a bad ground and another told me it had an open circuit.
what would i have to do to fix this problem?

if you've done a fuel pump swap on these cars before you know what needs to be done
trap door method is the best/easiest imo, might as well upgrade the pump while you're in there, considering you've ran it dry a few time(from your post I assume this), who knows how much life is left in it

To fix the float (level sensor) you have to pull the whole pump and bucket. Might as well go ahead and replace the pump again while you are at it as it is good insurance. Never know what that guy threw in there - used pump, etc...

Check the resistance in the level sensor first - Shoebox has a procedure:

alright over the weekend i did the procedure that shoebox has, and there was no reading at all of the resistance, but when i did the ground check on the purple wire the tank went to empty.
What would be the next step? i believe that one of the wires are disconnected up on the fuel pump does that sound right?
