Sound to me like a fuel sending unit. Usually when the fuel sending unit goes bad the fuel guage reads wrong. Hope this helps(if I am right)

Re: fuel gauge reads 1/4 after........
not too sure about these cars, but the sending unit is usually part of the fuel pump assy that pulls out the top of the tank. Most people on this site access that by cutting a hole in the floor under the carpet where the t-tops are stored. Not too sure if I would do that, but since it is a really indepth job I would at least consider it.

Re: fuel gauge reads 1/4 after........
I would disagree, I think "most" people on this sight would not cut an access panel. I think "most" people on this sight would do it the right way and drop the tank.
