Default 96 LT! fuel pump calibration

Have a 96 collectors addition, fuel pump went bad, was replaced and it has the correct pressure, BUT the gas guade is off, when it is on reserve the car still has about 10 gallons of gas. Replace the pump again with the same results. How do you calibrate the gas gage?

I do most of the work on the vette, except when it comes to gasoline, my garage has a gas furnace and hot water heater, so this job was farmed out.

Appreciate your input PR. Putx

It's not the pump. The sender or sending unit is for gauge. You could test dash gauge with a variable resistor 0 is empty 90 is full.
