Likely to the sender ring... There should be a 1/4" wide tang on the sender tank ring that the short ground wire plugs into.
Purple is not the original factory tank ground wire color but I bet that's what it is. OEM GM tank ground wire color is black.
That disconnected ground wire can and will cause the gauge to sit at 3:00.
