<VV> Oil Pressure Sender Switch

[Frank DuVal]

I have always used the Standard Ignition Parts PS-15X with good results. 
It does have a blue insulator, so the PS-15 looks more stock. These used 
to be stocked in all local stores, but I have no idea recently, as I 
still have several on the shelf.

It sound like you got the correct switch (or a very close equivalent) 
with your method also.
