Default Bad oil Pressure Gauge I think!!!

Ok today I went to crank my car and I noticed that my oil pressure gauge in the car was reading 120 when I started the car, anyways I drove my car for almost 100 miles then pulled over checked my oil and it seemed fine...I continued to drive home no problems with the car just that my oil gauge is reading 120 maxed to the right side...Does anyone know what I should do to trouble shoot this problem ?

Sensor locations
reduce size ofpix to 50% to see entire engine.

Below the alt...Its a black thing sticking outta the block with a two wire connector going into it. Simple as pie to replace. Just use a big pair of water pump plyers and remove it. The cost of the new part is about $32.00 Just before you use replace it, make sure to use teflon tape on the threads.
