Re: Oil pressure switch. Pitch it ?

On my 84, the gauge is connected to the plug next to the distributor. The choke light is connected to the switch just above the filter. If you unhook the wire next to the distributor, it will just peg the gauge at 60 psi. If you unhook from the lower switch, the choke light will come on. I was told its a failsafe that even if you aren't watching the gauge, zero pressure will turn on the red choke warning light.
