Could be the cluster or the sending unit in the tank. If you happen to have a junkyard/extra gauge cluster laying around you could pop yours out and hook it up and see if you get a reading.

Anyone know what the sending unit changes on the wire? Variable resistance to ground?

Dunno, but it could be a bad sending unit, bad gauge, or loose/corroded wiring. Lots to check out.
