This is a carb truck,,
Light is two wire (switch), gauge is one wire (sender). Oil pressure gauge or light, not both on a gas rig, at least.
As I recall the carbed rigs that vintage used both a pressure sender and choke switch (two separate units) tee'd off the block back by the distributor. A two wire switch (or pressure sender) could be run off the port above the oil filter, I just don't remember that being the way GM did it.

if I unplug switch by oil filter, choke light stays on...my truck in shop right now, once i get it back, ill look closer, but I do believe switch by oil filter has 2 wires from it.
