Default Ohm range for the stock fuel sending unit ('00 T/A)

Does anybody know what the ohm range is for the stock fuel sending unit for a '00 T/A? I found the following on Jegs site and that's what prompted me to ask:

0-90 ohm senders fit most GM vehicles 1965 to 1997. Will not operate on some 1998 or later vehicles with 40-250 ohm senders.
Wanted to check if people knew if the T/A LS1 is a 40 ohm empty and 250 ohm full type sending unit.

Thanks!

pretty sure its 90-0(backwards)
there is a modification you can do to the sendor so a regular 0-90 ohm gauge will work.
check www.thirdgen.org.

I'm looking into getting a sending unit made for me and they can make it to whatever spec it is that I'm needing. All they said it to make sure to list it as ohms for empty and then ohms for full rating.

From the instrument section of the 2001 service manual.

40 ohm empty
250 ohm full

But it uses a 5v signal to the sender (not 12v) from the pcm and a ground reference back to the pcm.
