Default Where the tech heads at?

can any one help me figure this out? i am possibly going to be purchasing an Autometer fuel gauge, and the gentleman who is selling it says it reads 90 ohms when full. and 0 when empty. what i need to know is, what is the ohm resistance on a Honda sending unit when full/empty? will this gauge be compatible with the stock Honda sending unit? or shall i purchase one from Autometer?

Looked in the CRX manual troubleshooting:
Empty 105-110
1/2 25.5-39.5
Full 2-5

But may want confirmation from someone else.

if you think about it ,more resistance=weaker signal,thats y the needle is down and up when u get less resistance...
