Fuel Sending Unit Problems

I have a 1980 CJ5 with a factory 15 gal. fuel tank. When I first bought the CJ, the fuel gauge registered at 1/2 a tank regardless of how much fuel was actually on board. When the ignition was turned off, the gauge would fall below empty, but when power was supplied it would always go straight to the 1/2 tank mark and stay there.
I recently dropped the tank and replaced the entire fuel sending unit. Now the needle on the fuel gauge shoots all the way above the "F" positon on the gauge and stays there regardless of how much fuel is in the tank.
I have checked the sending unit ground, and it appears to be fine.
Does anyone have any other suggestions or ideas before I pull the entire tank back down to reinspect the unit?
