Default Oil Pressure guage to deal with 80lbs?

I am installing a rebuilt high performance 59A block in my 35 Ford and the oil will be pumping at 80lbs. Is there a stock looking sender unit that I can use to report the pressure at a reduced rate proportionately - so if the engine has 80lbs - the gauge will show 40lbs so so I can see oil pressure but don't peg the needle on the stock guage?

Use the 80 lb sender unit in conjunction with your stock 50 lb gauge. Brian

I am interested in the stock send unit for my stock 53 8BA. Are you going to part with it?
