Dan,

You know that the gauge works by the grounding test.  I believe that the sender 
is
a variable resistor that should change with temp.  So use an Amp meter and see 
if
there is a change with temp.  If there is the most likely problem is a bad 
ground.
With non-OEM gaskets t here is no staple in the gasket -  so there is no ground.
An ugly but used method is to run a wire to the bolt that holds in the sender.

Good luck,

Dana
