Broken yet accurate gas gauge I’m Stumped

Any of the experience mechanics ever seen that?

All of a sudden I cannot fill the tank in my wagon.
[1980 Buick Electra Estate Wagon]

I can only get a tad above half and its coming out the filler.

Though it reads use proper, I let it get down to 1/4 and its a squeeze to get 5gals back in. 22gal tank, all new fuel system. tank, lines, pump, carb..........

Still the original sending unit though and ill drop it to change it, if I have too [when it warms up] but it seems odd, if its broke, it shouldn't be accurate on usage between half n a 1/4 ehy?
