What's this switch?

Sorry I am not allowed to post attachments or I'd have a picture to express a thousand words, but the switch in question is on the back side of my 0-360 right above the screw on oil filter. It has a cable exiting at 90deg at what looks like a diaphram case that screws into a threaded coupling which screws into a reducer which then screws into the engine case. Thanks for your reply.

Photos are not attached, they are hosted at a website that does such things. I use Picasa, but there are lots of them. You then link to the photo in your message, and some kind of magic happens so that when folks read your post, the photo is there.

A picture would tell us for sure, but I can't think of a single "switch" on a stock 360. What you are describing could be an oil temperature sender or possibly a tach sending unit - the tach output is right above the oil filter.

Guessing its an oil pressure switch that connects to a hobbs meter.

OK thanks for the info on posting. Here is the switch in question....

That's a tach sender (transducer). Most folks get their tach inputs off their mag P-lead, output from their ignition or sensor on side of their mag. You get yours directly off your cam shaft thru the transducer.

Thanks Guys, BTW I will learn how to adjust for the photo size next time.
