Fuel Tank Sending Unit

Is there any source out there that lists the OHM/resistance values for the tank senders so I can compare the original values to my current sender and a new sender? The one I'm specifically looking for is the midship tank, 19 gal tank.

I can't seem to find any specifics anywhere.

Thanks!

Somewhere close to 70 ohms empty, 10 ohms full.
Response is not linear and the gauge is thermal, so that offers some damping to the needle.

Gary's garagemahal has the 86 EVTM and an article on the voltage regulator.
Funny I just tested my gauge yesterday, 10 ohms put the needle over high and 73 was right on the low point. 10-73 is what is listed as being the standard for fuel, water and oil senders.
