When I wired mine, I ran the hot lead to a switched terminal on the fuse box, the ground wire to a grounded bolt, the lead wire to the sending unit and the last wire is connected to the dash lights.
The sending unit could also be sitting in/surrounded by an air bubble as mentioned. With the engine running, slowly loosen the sending unit a little until coolant runs out, then tighten it back up. That will ensure there is no air caught in the passage. If still no reading, call Nisonger and replace the sending unit.

Everything is new and supplied by ERA with the car. I checked to make sure the thread compound I used on the sending unit is conductive. I will try to burp the system as you suggest to be sure there is no air pocket. Thanks for the tip.
