What Oil pressure gauge do our v6's use

Is it the 80psi or the 60? I remember somebody posting this a while back but the search turned up nothing.

To the extent of my knowledge, only the V8's use the 0-60 PSI oil gauge. All the 6'ers use the 0-80 PSI gauge.

After the engine has been shut off, what does the gauge pressure read?
What does the pressure read for idle, after warmed up?

When I swapped the V-6 oil pressure guage, onto my V-8 dash set up, I'm afraid my needle may be not adjusted correct.
I didn't want to take a chance of the V-8 dash gauge not reading correctly the 80 lb pressure unit readings.
Attack from above or below, sender replacement.
I know use big & small wrench.
