Default *#@$ing Fuel Light

My fuel light on my '96 RKC comes on at approximately 70 miles into a full take of gas.. obviously WELL below where it should. Its annoying especially at night because its actually a fairly bright yellow light right into your eyes it seems. The fuel guage itself used to be real inaccurate too, showing nearly empty when at half a tank. I pulled the assembly out of the tank and bent the float downward, and now I think my levels are accurate, but that light still comes on way to early.

Anyone know of any fixes for this? Its starting to make me want to smash it.

Most likely a bad sender in tank.
