Default 1955 fuel gauge sender

I have just fitted a replacement fuel gauge sender to my 55 Ford Customline and are wondering abouf the experience of others. The unit i bought was the unit Dennis Carpenter sells which is for 36- 55 Fords 6 and 12volt. I have converted the car to 12volt and am using a solid state voltage reducer for the gauges. I have reversed the polarity of the gauges by swapping the connections on the back of ghe gauge. My question is that the gauge takes some time to register and even with a full tank doesnt show more than 3/4. Is this the experience of others.
