What is the ohm range for the stock foxbody 302 water temp sending unit?

Looking at getting autometer gauges w/ their sending unit but will replace the stock one and want to know if it will read somewhat accurate on the stock gauges as well.
I can't run both because I already have a fan relay sending unit in the manifold, and have a thermostat housing with a port to put my gauge sending unit.

86 degrees F = 27.27 K ohms
104 degrees F = 16.15 K ohms
122 degrees F = 10.97 K ohms
