What year GM sender, do the sender and gauge share common ohm range?

I'm using a 92 S10 Blazer tank and sender.
I really don't know what ohmage it is.
I think the VDO gauge sees 10-180 ohms.
I've got the tank mounted in 41 Chevy pickup frame, and using a Ramjet 350 engine/4L60E trans/with 2002 Express Van harness/0411 ECM.

If the VDO is 10-180 it will not work. The stock S10 should be 0 empty, 90 full. My suggestion is to get the correct gauge, in reality they are not expensive.

here's what I've found out since posting.
A company called Skeeters Hotrods in Ormond Beach, FL, makes an interface module that will allow any gauge to talk to any sender through it. It will also allow you to calibrate fuel gauge readings, and allow a low fuel light to be wired in.
Only problem, is it's 125.00.
They're on line if anyone is interested.
I plan to flush tank, and install mounting flange for VDO sender and go that route.
My labor is cheap.
Thanks guys for help.

Ron you should have asked me you can make it work with Tunercat shoot me an email I can walk you through it. You will have to wire the sender and the gauge through the PCM.--Eric
