On the earlier models, an oil pressure switch keeps the fuel pump on after engine start. The idea was to save the engine if oil pressure is lost.
Oil pressure fuel pump control (usually 2 wires).
A oil pressure switch is used with an idiot light (usually 1 wire).
A oil pressure sensor is used with a real guage (usually 1 wire).
Sometimes, there is a ground wire in addition to ground through the threads.
You need to use the sensor for the cluster, then rewire/plumb as necessary.
Thanks for the info, the first sensor I tried was a new one that was supposed to be the same as the one that came from my donor car. I may run back to the junk yard and snag that sensor as a reference.
I also think I need to get the pin out's (with voltages) for the 4 wires that connect to it and start doing some research.
