'85 Oil Pressure Light Switch needed on engine swap?

July 17, 2019, 03:10:22 PM by Nthefamily | Views: 42 | Comments: 2

Team,
I have a '85 K10 that originally had a 305 with a Q-Jet carb & electric choke but has since been swapped over to a BBC with an Edelbrock carb & electric choke. This is not a daily driver, but something to putt around town in on non rainy days in summer with a/c on and winter with heat on

When I changed to the BBC, I put a new oil pressure light switch (small switch w/2 wires) AND an oil pressure gauge switch (large switch w/1 wire) since it originally had both. They are both mounted to a fitting I installed on the back of the block. Last week when I cranked it up, I noticed a little smoke coming up from engine bay on driver side and began to investigate. I saw a few drops of oil on driver side dripping onto the hedder so I proceeded to shut'er down. After further investigation, I found that oil was either coming from the brass fitting that the oil pressure light switch is mounted to or the switch itself.

I thought (if my old memory serves me right) I had read somewhere back sometime ago that the oil pressure light switch worked the choke light on the original engine with electric choke.

Question - Do I need the oil pressure light switch since I've swapped engines or can I delete it out of my plumbing? I know I need the pressure gauge switch since I still have the factory oil gauge which works.

Thanks for any insight.

Polar White vs White ?

July 15, 2019, 10:10:48 PM by 440sixpack | Views: 83 | Comments: 2

According to the chart either Polar White or White were available in 1977. does anyone know if this is correct? and if one would be more common as a two tone option?

The chips seem to show the white as the brightest color. I'm not sure which to use. I'm adding a white two tone to my light buckskin K10 which never had it so I don't have a code to use.
