fuel gauge amplifier aka anit slosh module on the back of the cluster or a wiring issue, if its stuck on E I would bet the circuit is shorted to ground either in the wiring or the circuit print out. I would try swaping the cluster if you can borrow one from the same year 87-89 or 90-93

A little late but check the connectors on the back of the cluster...the clips are broken off on my 86 so I have to zip tie the connector in place or my gas gauge doesn't work...

If I remember correctly my pops 87 cluster has a few missing clips and loose connectors too...
