In response to Munro
Guessing it's a new sender too. I replaced mine 6 months or so ago. Unfortunately, although it was listed as fitting a 67 Impala (which it does), it's not made for a 67 Impala, yours may be the same.
Measure the tank depth at the sender mount, & measure the sender, mine wasn't ever going to get to the bottom.
I bent the arm to get it as close as I could, but that compromises the full tank accuracy. I decided it's more important to know when you're empty & I'll probably never fill it anyway at today's prices.
Even after bending the arm it still doesn't represent empty correctly but at least I know when the gauge is showing empty I've still got a few more liters so i'm not completely disappointed.
The other thing is & I don't know how good they are because mine wasn't working at all, but the original was a canister style rather than a float on the end of an arm. The float style fluctuates a lot, either when you're braking, turning corners or going up & down hills, but it's better than nothing.
