how to adjust a fuel sender unit

Asked by 65Ranchero Jul 22, 2017 at 01:47 AM about the 1965 Ford Ranchero

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My fuel gauge after filling up reads a 1/4 past full and is just about empty at a quarter full. It had been working properly and was removed by a mechanic to repair the line. After that is when it started to read incorrectly and no I do not want to bring it back to the same mechanic. What is the proper method to "adjust" the unit to read correctly?

Tom: Thanks, since I drive it all the time, I will get the tank down to a 1/4 and check the unit.

1970 ranchero. Would upper ball joints cause a clunking sound when stopping? I did check tie rods,centerlink,idler, and lower ball joint. But I don't know how to check the upper joint. I had to stop yesterday,6-29-13, because it's just to darn hot out here. I bought this car for my son but now I realize I don't know what I'm doing. My wife informs me of that,lol. 2 Answers

Most of the front end parts are pretty tight. But I gave up on checking the upper ball joint because it just got 106 outside yesterday and I'm not sure how to check it for wear.
