Have you trouble shot the system to make sure its the gauge? Normal failure mode in an open circuit or bad float sender is a gauge that reads over full.

I'm not sure how to check the unit out. I have a 65 Cutlass conv. I put a new gas tank in and new tank unit, and it reads the same as the wagon.

The gauges seldom go bad, which is why I suggested you do a bit of troubleshooting first.
