The po had an aftermarket mechanical oil pressure gauge installed and I want to put back the OEM. I'm hoping someone can tell me what I need to get and what I already have installed. The hose is going to an elbow above the oil filter. From looking at pics it looks like originally had a plug there. I assume I can just put one back. What I am assuming is the oil pressure switch has 2 prongs. From doing some research it seems like I should have a 3 prong switch with a sender attached to it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry for the bad lighting on the pics

Yes you should have a plug by the oil filter and the sender on mine is a two prong.
 
The OEM oil psi setup is NOT trustworthy or reliable.

Thanks guys I think I have it figured out except for the single wire that goes to the sending unit. Does anyone know what that connector is called that pushes on to it. I think it is a right angle type plug. I need to try and find one.
 
Yes it should be a right angle plug and if it is like mine the wire should be purple.

I am doing the same thing to ours but have not located the wire yet that should go to the sending unit. Not too surprising considering all the backyard wiring I have already uncovered.

Good luck
