Default Gas TAnk and Gas Light Question

hey guys i have an 89 convertible and was wondering how big is the tank and when the gas light comes on how much fuel do i have left in the tank? I am asking this because before i did my 5lug conversion from an SN95 rearend, i got around 210 to the tank plus my gas gauge is broken, it starts going down when the fuel is low. and now with the sn95 rear end i get like 170 to the tank.

your vert could have had the 2.73s and your sn95 rear end could have had 3.08s. could possibly be a reason for the reduce in gas mileage. and i think the gas tank is 14 gallons? not positive on it.
