Frank, he means an added oil pressure shutoff switch for the electric fuel
pump. All stock Corvairs (and FCs) have the switch for the oil pressure
light.

BTW, some other cars in the last 50 years don't have a switch and light,
they use a pressure gauge only. Some recent cars have both.

But of course you were just being humorous and left humor out of the
title... ggg

Stephen,
    While I don't have info on the "early" (1964 and  earlier) Corvairs,
ALL 
later models (1965-69) have an oil pressure switch that  turns on a red
light 
on the dash to warn of low or NO oil pressure.  It's  hard for me to
believe 
that ANY car in the past 50+ hears does NOT have  this kind of switch
installed 
to warn the driver of lack of oil pressure so  he can shut down the engine 
before it is destroyed.
    Check your wiring diagram.  What year is your  car?
    Regards,
    Frank Burkhard

Mine  doesn't have an oil pressure switch.  So, it should fill up the   
bowls before ignition.  I will be installing the impact switch, 
soon._____________________________________________
