Question on Ohms for fuel guage

I might end up changing out all my gauges to Autometer gauges in the dash panel.
The one I am unsure on is the fuel gauge.
Autometer is showing multiple different resistance in Ohms for the gauge.
Is this Ohm reading based off of the fuel sender i assume?

It's 0-90 ohms. Auto meter makes numerous gauges that work.

It's pretty easy, just a little time consuming to make the harness.

I bought a complete gauge cluster. It comes with a universal wiring harness, connectors and senders for temperature and oil pressure along with adapters for different heads etc etc
