Swapping out clusters (adding a tachometer) did change
the way my fuel gage read.  I just retrofitted my '84
non-tach fuel gage into the tachometer one, and all
was well.  It reads full when full and empty when
empty... no shortcoming here.

Having said that, swapping out the sender had no
change on the fuel gage.
