Another variable is how long the arm is . If not the same as old one it can never work correctly . Think about it . If obviously longer or  shorter     , or shaped differently   you can change it with weld rod or coat hanger wire . Clean steel rods till shiny and solder , copper wire wrapped around joint . You can make the snap around the float hook shape too that way . 
I found that Ford still sells a pack of two brass float cans as a service item , look the same as ours . Plastic foam is junk
I am sorry ,do not have Ford part number , but parts guy can find it .     
Last , we really don’t care about full end , we need it right 1/4 and below . You can get there .
I too count miles...  
I installed solid state regulators in some cars versus the pulsing stock mechanical one . They can impact the empty end . Never adjust the dash gauge , becomes a bag of worms . Best to stay stock on regulator is my feeling now . I have never seen failure personally — except what follows : It is critical that regulator metal frame is grounded in dash ( sometimes it is in oil or  temperature gauge ) .Why that ground wire jumper is there on astrodome   , Near gauges . However it is under a sheetmetal screw going into the plastic of dome — not so good . I now solder a ground wire directly onto shined metal of regulating gauge or regulator      , run to a real ground stud . If ground does fail, regulator will see / think it is zero volts at output , it stays closed instead of pulsing , that puts  12 v on gauges made for about 5v regulated (average) this will burn up ALL your gauges in 10 minutes . Why mopar added the jumper I think .  Pretty steep warrantee repair and may damage senders too .  Ground is the issue , not  the regulator ...

> The bend of the float arm needs to correct. To straight and it will hit top of tank and read 3/4 or there abouts. To much curve and it will hit the bottom of the tank when empty and also be incorrect since it may read 1/4 or so and leave you out of gas when the gauge still shows some left. Try measuring half a tank and play around with the float wire to show 1/2 full and hope for the best. Then try a few trips to see usage against gauge reading to see what should be in the tank. Read once that is why most 300 owners carry 3-5 gallons in a jug for emergencies.

My G is in the shop so when I get it back ( hopefully very soon ) I can fill up the tank and see what it reads. Then I might carry a 5 gallon can of gas when it just gets to 1/8 and keep running until its empty and see how the gauge reads.
