Default oil pressure sending unit, right one sent?

So I ordered an oil pressure sending unit for my 1970 Pontiac GTO. 455 motor and i'm pretty sure its a 74 model if I recall correctly. I ordered part number M196D "Oil pressure sending unit W/gauges" and is labeled as such on the bag. My concern is, the sending unit itself is stamped with a "60" on it. Now I know you offer this unit in both 60# and 80# so I am worried that the "60" stamped on it is for a 60# sending unit? My Rally Gauges go up to 80# reading so I want to make sure I have a 80# compatible sending unit.

Thank you.

Turned out to not be the sending unit after all, looks to be a bad wire. Fixed it and the Rally Gauge now reads 15-20 PSI higher than my mechanical gauge, lol, at least I get a reading instead of a dead needle. Thanks again.
