    Hi Ken, the oil pressure switch is a HLY-12-810.
    It labeled Fuel Pressure
    Safety Switch. 40$ from
    Summit Racing. High
    Quality

    Hi Ken , As an update to the oil pressure switch . I installed the Holley as i previously mentioned and a modified a truck Chirp light /alarm and it
    Works great. When I turn on the master I get two lights and the chirp. Once the pressure switch is satisfied all lights and chirper close and all is normal.
    I had installed a red LED right under my airspeed indicator and missed it when the oil pressure switch let go. The Chrip alarm for me is well
    Worth the 10$ it cost. It sure beats landing on the fairway of the golf course where I was headed.

    Thanks for the update Bob. I bought one of the Holley switches. It did look better than the Carter that I had, but I wasn't completely satisfied so I kept looking. Eventually I found a Honeywell. I bought it and that's what I am using. To my eye it looks like it is better built than the other two. I got it from Mouser:
