Hah. My '63 Spyder gas gauge was exactly the same. Had to run out of gas to learn that....

My '64 Monza sedan had a fuel gage that was EMPTY when it still showed a 
needle width above the E line. I would tell people who borrowed the car 
to put gas in when the gage reached the 1/4 full line. Several times I 
had to take a gallon of gas to rescue my car. "But the gage shows fuel" 
. "No, it is where I said it would run out of gas". They would not run 
out a second time.... 

If the needle does not move when the brakes are applied, it is time for 
fuel.
