Oil Pump - Pressure Regulator

On a 302 sbf, I don't know if I am right but I swear I could remember reading some where maybe in one of my Ford shop manuals that the oil pump pressure regulator is set to bypass at 70-75 PSI is that correct?

I want to verify cause right now I am looking at the Melling stock oil pump but Melling said in the question section for said pump that the pressure is regulated to 60 PSI which doesn't make sense if 70-75 is stock like I thought I read.
