This fix is for you folks with the crap wiring in the mid 80's and issues with oil pressure switch plug. My connector was chopped off when the dual sending unit took the old switches place. My dual unit has sprung a little leak and I had to put the old switch back in until the new one gets here and there is time to install it.

Took a blue crimp butt splice and that thing slips up on the sending unit like it was made to go there. 75 miles today and worked like a champ did not move in fact. If the fit was a little loose, you could just slightly crimp the butt splice to snug it up. The plain jane one on Inga fit nice and snug and beats having to go down the PUP just to chop off a plug.

Ready to get my oil pressure gauge back working, but better than nothing at all.

Regards,

Pai;
