Fuel Gage

Fuel Gage reads above fulll all the time. When I jumper the pink wire to ground at c200 and c315 connectors, in both cases it starts toward empty, but not all the way. slows down at 1/4 tank or so. I know there is more than a 1/4 tank, but I also know it isn't above full... any ideas.?
This is one of the last little things after doing the TPI conversion.
Thanks

TPI conversion? TPI to CARB, or vice versa?

When I bought my car, (which was a 5.0l TPI, that had been converted to a 5.7l Carb set up) I found underneath that the plug in the bottom of the gas tank was unpluged. Pluged back in the gauge worked fine up until 1/4 of a tank, then it never got lower. Kind of half ***, well a quarter ***, geez.
Well after I needed a new tach (never worked), I went to a junk yard and found a 5.0l carbed camaro, swiped all the gauges and replaced them, since then fuel gauge has worked fine. Coincidence, I dont know.
