I had the same problem with the gauge not going above 1/4 when I used the sending unit that is sold as fitting all full size Chryslers. The Imperial is a unique sending unit due to the fuel sentry relay in the system.

Subject: IML: fuel tank sending unit
Thanks everyone for the advice on the convert. top it works. I need some advice on on adjusting the fuel tank sender, I put a new (fabricated from brass by a guy in Detroit I think, several years ago, the gauge always read empty, recently I removed the dash and went thru cleaned, checked and repaired as needed. the gauge still read empty, but as fuel was consumed the " check gages" light will come on showing that the low fuel warning part of the circuit is working. but the gauge always reads empty. today I removed the sending unit and bent the float rod "up", now with a full tank it reads 1/4 tank on the gauge. Did I bend too far or not far enough. BTW is not "gages" an incorrect spelling on the dash. thamks, Mike Becker 67 imperial, in Salem, Oregon
