Thank you Dale,
That is what I have found to be the best and safest way to go, along with my AAA Card.

I've had numerous aftermarket fuel gauges and, to be honest, none have worked correctly. Had a SW back in the 60's in a '55, two different Autometers in my '67 and a Dakota Digital in my '67. Even with a new tank sender neither the Dakota Digital setup nor an Autometer UltraLite would read correctly. It got to the point that I used my odometer as a backup - I knew how far I could drive under normal in-town/highway conditions and watched the odometer to clue me in when to get gas.
If anyone figures it out, more power to 'ya - <grin>

That is exactly what mine does. E is empty and 1/2 on the gauge is Full.

Hey all, keep posting any progress you make on this. The sending unit in my '70 is only reading from ½ to empty. It won't go over ½, even when the tank is full. I'll probably be dropping my tank soon to start checking it out.

I believe from checking out my fuel sending unit and gauge, that in 1964 they were 50 OHM and in 1965 they went to 90 OHM. I have a 90 OHM sending unit and a 90 OHM gauge, but it is not working the full range of the gauge. It only reads about half the range on the gauge.
Hope we all can find some help with this. I need to recheck my sending unit. Need to put an OHM meter on it and check it.

GM after something like 1965 use 0-90ohm, be sure to buy the right gauge.
