Scott, when I put in my new engine, I had a new pressure switch installed before
the engine actually went in. After everything was hooked up and the first start
was made, the oil light came on. It was the pressure switch at the rear of the
engine, ...not the one between the pushrods. Brand new but faulty. Changed it on
the spot. It's not exactly the easiest thing to get at but it can be unscrewed
and another installed without having to take anything apart.

Good luck,

night. I may winter here one more time.
