electric fuel pump oil pressure switch pins gauge

How do you figure that? If it has enough fuel in the carb to run itself to death in the event of low oil pressure what good is it going to do shutting the pump off?? I can't quite understand your logic here? Best bet would be to hook the ignition up thru a low op switch.....but hell, what do I know....

The oil pressure ignition cut off makes better sence, but then you have to crank it till you get oil pressure before it'll start. (Unless you put a manual bypass in also)
Then you have to remember to (Arm) it again after the car starts, or it's all for nothing again.

In my oppinion, the best thing you can use for this is a warning light/buzzer or both on the old idiot light style sender.
If you loose oil pressure, it makes the warning light/buzzer or both activate.
The light will be on, and the buzzer will scream till the oil pressure comes up, but you will have instant oil pressure loss warning with audio and video alert.
I have done it this before and it worked really well.

But what do I know? :D
