Looks like it belongs there.  Did you install an 80 PSI sender, too?

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

If the old gauge was 0-60 PSI, you have a 60-PSI sender.  The sender will be stamped "60" on one flat of the 9/16" hex nut adjacent to the threaded end of the sender.  I think the GM part number for the 80-PSI sender with 1/8" male pipe thread is 15591103, but you should verify that.
