I replaced the fuel sending unit on my '65. Ever since, it only reads 1/2 full even though it is completely full. Does anyone know how to correct this problem? I would like to know what the ohmmeter should read for empty,1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full. Can you help?

About 10 ohms full and 80 ohms empty.

Also check the resistance between the gauge and the the sender. It should be zero or close to zero. I have the same problem as you, and I know the problem is too much resistance in my harness.

More likely a bad connector! Use a drill bit with fine steel wool wrapped on the tip then clean the male and female connectors. Use a battery powered drill motor and spin the steel wool inside the connectors. This will clean 35 years of corrosion out of the connectors and reduce the resistance to near zero.
