Oil Pressure Switch / Warning light ?

[Rick_A]

I'm installing a oil pressure warning light as a backup to my engine monitor. I've installed the light but I can not find an appropriate switch. The only oil pressure switch that I've found is for a Hobbs meter. The Hobbs switch is normally open, so it works the opposite of want I want for a low pressure warning.

Any suggestions on what switch / tranducer to use?

My switch is a genuine quality AC Delco part from NAPA.....sorry, don't have the part number, but I remember it wasn't hard to pick out.....

The one I use does double duty. It illuminates the light when pressure is low, and turns on the hobbs when pressure is present.

I know I got it from vans, probably as part of the FF kit, but I'm sure they sell it separately.

Van's has an oil pressure switch with a SPDT switch. I can be used for both the hobbs and the warning light. THe normally open contact goes to the hobbs and the normally closed contact goes to the warning light. The center is ground so you need +12V on the other side of the hobbs and light.

Looks like 2 good options, NAPA or Van's. I was hoping that I would find one that switched the ground side which is exactly what the Van's one does.
