I'm not an expert but I thought the sender provides resistance when it is working and that is what enables the gauge to work. When the sender is shot, the needle usually shoots to the top. If yours is not moving at all, it would seem that it's a connection/lack of voltage problem.

I had the temp gauge, fuel gauge, and oil pressure gauge crap out all at the same time on my wife's '89 a month ago. It was a fuse.

Good luck.
