Oil Pressure question

I have a 1989 3.2 and am seeing the gauge measure max pressure essentially as soon as the throttle is slightly depressed. My understanding is that this could be one of 2 things. Either my sender is bad (or the connection) or I really do have pressure that is too high (I do have some niggling oil leaks that this could be the root cause of which is why I mention it).
To check the sender itself, I believe that it can be checked with an ohm meter and that it should go to high impedance with higer pressure. Any idea what a good idle resistance and high rev resistance should be?
To check the pressure, I am installing a pressure gauge to where the oil pressure sender mounts. What should be a good range there? How many psi at idle and at high revs (range of good)?
Any other thoughts on how to test this?

Thanks,
Chris

Both cold and hot. Same phenomenon.
