Default Instrument Cluster Problem

Hi guys. I have been lurking for a while and discovered that I can't find the answer to my question. I recently bought a '95 ti and the instrument cluster is fried. Only the tach works. I took it out and tested it to discover that the gauges themselves are good but the circuit board is not. Instead of replacing it with a stock cluster I am going to mount some aftermarket ones in a custom bracket where the stock cluster is now. My problem: The fuel gauge.

This is the one I'm going to use.

Now the issue. I don't know what ohm rating I need to use. Any advice/comments is welcome. Thanks.

Are you doing to save money instead of buying an oem one or just because you want to??I can tell you it'll be easier to just buy a used one with all the engine swaps happening around here. I can even sell you mine if you're interested.

What year is your Ti? I have an OBDII cluster that I converted to blue gauges. It's pretty freakin sweet. Looks completely stock during the day with chrome rings around the gauges, but at night, awww man it's badass! LMK if you're interested.

I couldn't get my camera to capture the color correctly. It's actually a little darker shade of blue than it looks in these pics:

It also looks kinda blotchy in this pic, but it's actually one solid color(really easy on the eyes, kinda like the VW dash)


You could see the darker shade of blue that I'm talking about in the second pic. The whole thing is that color but my camera couldn't capture it.

Just thought as long as I was replacing I may as well upgrade, but if I saw an OEM one for the right price I'd probably get it instead to save money/work.
