Yeah, those two warning switches are tied together on the same circuit on your car. The handbrake switch is hard to find OEM but it should be easy to adapt something else. Usually I see a lot of duct tape in that area...

If you haven't already gotten it working, on my '70 the wire for brake pressure switch on the union was brown and came out the wiring harness; the one found in my '74 is as Ken described in his '71. Make sure the switch isn't bent and reinsert it with anti-seize or something to that effect; I've seen some that people tried pretty hard to remove unsuccessfully, to the detriment of the hydraulic lines.

Cheers, -Sean
