Bend the wire connected to the the float, up or down depending on which way that you are a quarter of a tank off.

Pull the float up with a wire so that the float touches the top of the tank. It should read full at that position. Adjust accordingly by bending the float rod.
If you have a spark screen at the filler cap it needs to be removed in order to do the adjustment.

For What It's Worth: I read in a tech article that Ford set the float rod adjustment so when the gauge reads "E" there was still a gallon of gas left. I've done this and it freaks out my wife who thinks we're going to be walking soon.

My gas gauge is set like arnhemmer's, full when the float hits the top. "One of these days" I keep telling myself, I am going to drain the tank to see exactly where M/T is on my gauge... but not today.
