Default C2 '66 default gas gauge setting in the middle?

A couple months ago, I had to swap out the fuel sending unit in my 66. I didn't have new connectors, so I haven't connected the wires yet. I notice that the needle indicates dead center with the wires disconnected.

Is this normal? I was just curious, I thought it would read zero/empty.

I'll get around to replacing the connectors and completing the job next week or so.

Default

Fuel gauge will read at last level indicated when key turned off. It does not drop to empty.
