I have also never owned a 67 Sprint FB, so I don't know the correct gauge reading, but if you use a 80 PSI sender it should work with your 80 PSI Gauge.
I think the reason for using a 60 PSI gauge is the fact that a stock OHC-6 had very low oil pressure at idle, usually around 8-10 PSI if everything was perfect. It would look even lower on an 80 PSI Gauge
