<VV> strange fuel gauge behavior

[PatioMatt at aol.com]

Because it's designed to do so!   14 gal. tank...shows Empty  after 9....
 
You can bend the arm to make it more accurate...but then must  remember!!

Hi,

I am working on a 1965 Monza that has seen virtually no time  on the street 
since I got it.  Among other things, I have removed,  cleaned, and replaced 
the fuel gauge.  When I had it out, I hooked up  an ohm meter and saw the 
resistance changing as I moved the float  arm.  Now I have about four gallons 
of gas in the tank.  When  the ignition is off, the needle is at about 1/16 
of a tank, which is bad  enough, but when I turn the ignition, the needle 
goes back to "E".   Does anybody have any ideas as to why this might be 
happening?
