1987 E150 fuel problem

Hi I have a 1987 E150 with the 5.0 and I'm stuck on the front fuel tank and when I switch it to the rear tank the gas gauge acts like it's on the front tank

You probably need a new tank selector switch
Does it bog for a moment when switching tanks?
Do you think the fuel pumps are switching?
