Probably the sender unit in the tank. I think you can get to it from under the rear passenger seat, remove the rubber grommet in the floor.

NO NOT the sender unit in the tank, EVERYONE points to that, but in reality, its a wiper arm with resistance.!!

Id be more inclined to look at the Clocks infront of you, remove the speedo clocks, and open them up. Behind the speedo is a small extra cuircuit board, its tiny, and its NOT shown on the haynes wiring diagrams, anyway, this little board decodes the level sender signal to the guage signal, and is rarely known of...

Id be looking at swapping that first. Can you get some clocks from a wreker??? Shame your so far away, Ive loads of S2 assemblies here!
