When I bought my '85 the gas gauge didn't register at all.  I needed new
seals at the top of the tank so when I ordered them I got a new sender
for the tank.

Now the gauge works ... sort of.  When I fill up the gauge shows full or
sometimes very nearly full.  After about 10 miles it registers 3/4 tank
and continues to fall faster toward 1/2 tank than I think it should then
slows to where it hits the red mark after I've used about 11 US gallons.

I haven't looked into it further.
