Congrats on the new purchase.

All pre-89 cars suffer this problem, the digital gash guys can recalibrate pretty easily. Anyway usually issue is the guage itself, earlier this year I checked by grounding the appropriate wire at the sender and sure enough guage showed just over 3/4.

Now have the instrument cluster out (not specifically for this) and there is a 100R resistor on the back of the fuel guage which looks like it gets pretty hot so will check the resistance of this to see if its outta whack.

Otherwise will hook up a power supply and re-calibrate so read 'PITA' fix and just use the tripmeter like other people have suggested.
