Gauge woes

Gauge woes
I went for a good long drive Saturday and everything went smoothly except my temperature gauge was reading very high. I stopped to check it out and the thermometer on the radiator cap (Mr. Gasket) was only showing 200*, no hissing, no boilover ... So I must have the wrong sending unit. What should the resistance be at say 85* and also at 200*?
Also, I thought I was almost out of gas. I stopped to fill it up (a chore in itself) and after 5 gallons it was to the bottom of the filler neck. The gauge read right at half a tank. So that sending unit must be the wrong one too. So again, what should the resistance be at empty and also at full?
Any help appreciated!

hi;
if your water sending unit is not orig and it has always done this most likely it is incorrect, you are best off buying a used orig.
the tank sender float might just need adjisting it is ariund 10 ohms full and 90 empty.
