Correct water temp sending unit?

Can anyone tell me what the correct model water temp sending unit is? I'm finding two Standard Motor senders TS-58 and TS-24 which have different resistance values.

I'm doing the 'shakedown' on my Pantera after over 10 years of working on it and yesterday put 100 miles on it. The temp gauge would rise above the 190 degree mark and then when the fans kick on the needle would go down.  Everything seemed to be working as it should. Then during the last leg of my test on an open stretch the gauge climbed into the red and stayed there and the fans did not turn on and should not have as I was going 55 on a not really hot day. I pulled over and there was no indication of overheating. I thought I would start trouble shooting by installing a new sending unit.

Thanks, Dennis
