What length and PSI should Mark I hood struts be?

Just putting the hood back on the car after the engine swap and for the life of me I cannot find where I stashed the hood struts. Anybody recall what length and PSI the stuts should be on a FFR Mark I hood kit?

I used these (https://www.amazon.com/SUSPA-Spring-Strut-Shock-C16-02622/dp/B0018ICAMO?ie=UTF8&ref_=pe_385040_30332190_TE_3p_dp_1) when I replaced my Mark I struts a few years ago.
They fit and work like the originals, no issues.

Johnny...

Strangely enough 28 lbs. per rod seems like nearly double what the pressure should be. Called FFR and they are telling me 12 - 14 lbs. per rod.

Also went to CarQuest today and they could not cross reference the above mfg. part number. Any chance you can double somebody else might have info on this?

Thanks everyone, really appreciate it.

I did a lot of research on it at the time and that seemed to be what everyone was using.
I've not had any problems and they really don't seem any stronger than the originals when they were new.
