Changed My Gauge Cluster Now I Need Help

I changed my digigatl cluster to a white faced analog from a SE, now my gas gauge doesn't work, when I fill up the tank it shows 3/4 full and after using the car for about 20 miles or more it start to go down, before I do 50 miles the needle is all the way down, the reason I changed my digital cluster was because it was bad. everything else works fine one the analog one, can some one help

No I tried with two different gauges I'm thinking it could be my fuel sending unit, the one that's under the rear seat, but I'm not shure.

possible, could just be that your car is only setup to work with the digi gauge, but that seems kinda dumb if everything else works

when you change your gauges from digital to analog you have to change the sending unit on the fuel pump thats under the back seat because there not the same, and the fuel gauge wont work if you dont.

What's the total mileage that's displayed on the new digital cluster? and is that the correct mileage, or is that from the donor car?
