That is the link to the site I purchased the float switches from. I don't have a part number at this time, but will look for it.

I will also look for the post that someone made that included photos- that may give us a part number as well.

In short you grab a switched 12v from the fuse panel and run a wire to a light (Radio Shack) that can be mounted on one of the square panels to the right of the instrument panel.

Continue the wire behind the glovebox and poke it through the rubber grommet in the firewall to one of the float switch leads (the other lead is attached to ground).

The float switch is mounted in the coolant reservoir after drilling a 3/8" hole in the bottom of the reservoir. It takes a switch that is normally open when mounted in the bottom. When the coolant is low the float drops and closes the circuit lighting the light on the dash.

I will get back with a link when I locate it.
