I have just replaced the fuel sending unit on my 63 T-bird. I got one of the aftermarket units from BirdNest. After installing it, it only reads 1/4 tank but the tank is about 3/4 full. I have removed the unit, measured the resistance at full and empty and it is correct. I have adjusted the float rod where it is correct for where empty and full should be. The float position pretty well matches where it was on the old sending unit at Empty and Full. While connected to the electrical terminal and grounded while outside the tank it shows correctly at Full and Empty on the fuel gauge on the instrument cluster. The swing of the float rod is free and doesn't hang up anywhere. But when I put the unit back in the tank, it reads 1/4 tank. The tank, which is about 6.5" deep at the sending unit, has approximately 4.5" of gas in it.
