Oil pressure sw location ?

[85k5dsl]

Where is the oil pressure switch located ? Does it have a tan wire going to it just like a gasser ?

Thanks

Its on the drivers side back of the block like a gasser. Not sure of the wire color.

Yup, tan. Just had to redo my connection.
It's driver rear behind the junction of the head and intake and behind the glow plug solenoid.

Yep, I found it. Now I have to figure out if the sender is bad or the gauge ? NAPA gave me a price of $65 for the sending unit. Tahnks for the feedback.

FWIW, I took my dash apart to clean it last week. It was very dirty back there. Cleaned everything real good and sprayed the case with chrome paint to brighten it up at night. Also cleaned all the connections. Anyway, now my voltmeter works better. Before it would hardly move, now it does depending on the load.
