I was going to switch to an autometer fuel level gauge but I guess something like ohms matters. (lol) does any one of the top of their head know the standard ohms a fuel level sender sends?

Does it vary based on years?

That is the exact one! I am using the Autometer programmable full sweep gauge. My gauge is programmed for 0-90 GM, but any GM gauge will work with that tube sender. The 5 hole are not concentric, you will need to "clock" it to line up with the holes. No modifications other than changing the wiring to ring terminals and longer screws. Oh wait, I did have to clearance the bottom of my expansion tank slightly, the tube sending unit is slightly taller above the tank. I just fliped the ex-tank upsidedown on a soft pad and used a hammer to dimple slightly above the sending unit. Can't even tell...
