probably a bad fuel sender.

Fuel level sensor. Its not even a sensor, its just an piece of plastic with some fingers on it that run across a circut board and that sends the info the computer. The fingers wear off and cause the wacky gas gauge.
Search the problem on here and you'll find tons of info. Also search on youtube "bonneville fuel level sensor replacement" and watch the vids.

I replaced the entire pump with a good used one and the gauge is still not working. What should I look at now? I talked to a mechanic and he suggested that maybe I might have a faulty cluster. Any comments?

Nice!

Yeah man. Let me know if you have any questions!

Um... Did u need to replace the entire pump? Anyway, what's done is done. It could be a bad cluster, but of that's the case it may be more trouble than it's worth. Also, however unlikely, the second pump could have a bad pickup as well. Not sure where you should go from here though.

try looking at the MAP sensor... that also has a lot to do with the fuel gauge for some reason.
