Oil Pressure Sender PSI question
'68 442 Turnpike (400 L.C./2bbl) Rally Pack Gauges
I need a new oil pressure sender. In researching for the proper part # replacement, have found Rock Auto and several other sites do not give the option under 68 442 / 400 for gauges - only lights. Looking at the same year cutlass 400, it does show the optional choice sender for gauges.
AC Delco D8034 (??PSI)
Standard PS157 (??PSI)
Other auto sites show additional choices
BWD S769 (??PSI)
WELLS PS133 (80PSI)
AIRTEX 1S6563 (80PSI)
I am trying to ensure all the ones listed above are same in PSI. Based on my specific vehicle, is a 80 PSI sender the correct one? Is there a preference?

My '69 GMC pickup w/350 has a 60 pound gauge but a large truck will have an 80 pound gauge, so I would go with the 60 pound gauge. GM PN 6460992.

I was able to clean it up and identify the numbers
80 6460992
There is also some type of sealer around the little metal cover on the top. An attempt to fix it at some point, who knows.... Anyway, I will keep this one and order the modern day replacement
Thank you for the replies.

Wanted to update the thread. Using the numbers above I was able to confirm AC Delco D8034 unit would be suitable. Installed it today and the pressure gauge functions properly now. Thank you for the assistance.
